Handling of quoted strings in pig-latin/grunt commands
------------------------------------------------------
Key: PIG-1190
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-1190
Project: Pig
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Thejas M Nair
There is some inconsistency in the way quoted strings are used/handled in
pig-latin .
In load/store and define-ship commands, files are specified in quoted strings ,
and the file name is the content within the quotes. But in case of register,
set, and file system commands , if string is specified in quotes, the quotes
are also included as part of the string. This is not only inconsistent , it is
also unintuitive.
This is also inconsistent with the way hdfs commandline (or bash shell)
interpret file names.
For example, currently with the command -
set job.name 'job123'
The job name set set to 'job123' (including the quotes) not job123 .
This needs to be fixed, and above command should be considered equivalent to -
set job.name job123.
