Can I make it use control characters as delimiters? Ans. Yes. The first parameter to PigStorage is the dataset name, the second is a regular expression to describe the delimiter. We used String.split(regex, -1) to extract fields from lines. See http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/regex/Pattern.html for more information on the way to use special characters in regex. For example "load 'input.dat' using PigStorage('\u0001');" will use ^A as a delimiter.
