Namit Jain commented on HIVE-680:
---------------------------------

There was a internal problem recently:


One of internal custom mapper scripts was trying to split the string: probably 
it expected to be in some fixed format, say a:b:c
It was not, and the process died.

The user was perfectly happy to ignore such records.

> add user constraints

> Many times, because of a few bad input rows, the whole job fails and it takes 
> a long time to debug those.
> It might be very useful to add some constraints, which can be checked while 
> reading the data.
> An option can be added to ignore configurable number of bad rows.
