Viraj Bhat commented on PIG-774: -------------------------------- Daniel, Thanks again for your patch, I worked with Pradeep and changed the parser code to invoke that behavior you suggested and then filed Jira PIG-774. Here is one problem that I faced.. Suppose I have a script like this, known as chinese_data.pig {code} rmf chineseoutput; %default querystring 'myquery'; I = load '/user/viraj/chinese.txt' using PigStorage('\u0001'); --dump I; J = filter I by $0 == '$querystring'; --J = filter I by $0 == ' 歌手 香港情牽女人心演唱會'; --store J into 'chineseoutput'; dump J; {code} I have a parameter file known as "nextgen_paramfile" which contains the $querystring variable.. {code} querystring=" 歌手 香港情牽女人心演唱會" {code} I run the above script and parameter file as: {code} java -cp pig.jar:/home/viraj/hadoop-0.18.0-dev/conf/ -Dhod.server='' org.apache.pig.Main -param_file nextgen_paramfile chinese_data.pig {code} I get the following error: ================================================================================ 2009-04-29 01:05:14,979 [main] INFO org.apache.pig.backend.hadoop.executionengine.HExecutionEngine - Connecting to hadoop file system at: hdfs://localhost:9000 2009-04-29 01:05:16,328 [main] INFO org.apache.pig.backend.hadoop.executionengine.HExecutionEngine - Connecting to map-reduce job tracker at: localhost:9001 2009-04-29 01:05:16,907 [main] INFO org.apache.pig.PigServer - Create a new graph. 2009-04-29 01:05:17,794 [main] ERROR org.apache.pig.tools.grunt.Grunt - ERROR 1000: Error during parsing.

Encountered: "\u6b4c" (27468), after : " ================================================================================ I realized that it was something to do with the commented line in the pig script. {code} --J = filter I by $0 == ' 歌手 香港情牽女人心演唱會'; {code} Why is that so, I am attaching the pig_*log on this Jira. Additionally I found that the parameter substitution is happening correctly when I run the script as: {code} java -cp pig.jar:/home/viraj/hadoop-0.18.0-dev/conf/ -Dhod.server='' org.apache.pig.Main -param_file nextgen_paramfile -r chinese_data.pig {code} The substituted file, chinese_data.pig.substituted is correct.
