Allow setting of end-of-record delimiter in PigStorage
------------------------------------------------------
Key: PIG-836
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-836
Project: Pig
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: impl
Reporter: George Mavromatis
Fix For: 0.2.0
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.
