Hadoop streaming job issue

[wd]

hi,

I'm try to write a hadoop streaming job by perl. But i'm complately confused
by the key/value separator.

I found lots of separators I can set ...

# -jobconf stream.map.output.field.separator=A \
# -jobconf stream.reducer.output.field.separator=B \
# -jobconf mapred.textoutputformat.separator=C \
# -jobconf key.value.separator.in.input.line=D \
# -jobconf stream.map.output.field.separator=A \
# -jobconf stream.reduce.input.field.separator=AA \
# -jobconf stream.reduce.output.field.separator=B \
# -jobconf map.output.key.field.separator=C \

But what does these separators mean?

I try to use ^A in my job, and find this
bug<http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-3341>, it seems hadoop
have fix it in 0.19.0, but I still get follow error when I
set to ^A.

[Fatal Error] :49:68: Character reference "&#1" is an invalid XML character.

So, I can't use ^A as the separator ?
