Daniel Dai commented on PIG-836:
--------------------------------
Yes,you can:
set textinputformat.record.delimiter ' '
Seems backslash does not work for me, but you can use the actual character (eg,
instead of '\t', use a tab character).
> Allow setting of end-of-record delimiter in PigStorage

> PigStorage allows overriding the default field delimiter ('\t'), but does not
> allow overriding the record delimiter ('\n').
> It is a valid use case that fields contain new lines, e.g. because they are
> contents of a document/web page. It is possible for the user to create a
> custom load/store UDF to achieve that, but that is extra work on the user,
> many users will have to do it , and that udf would be the exact code
> duplicate of the PigStorage except for the delimiter.
> Thus, PigStorage() should allow to configure both field and record separators.
