                 Key: PIG-1271
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-1271
             Project: Pig
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 0.7.0
            Reporter: Daniel Dai
            Assignee: Daniel Dai


With [PIG-613|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-613], we are able to 
load txt files containing complex data type (map/bag/tuple) according to 
schema. However, the format of complex data field is very strict. User have to 
use pre-determined special characters to mark the beginning and end of each 
field, and those special characters can not be used in the content. The goals 
of this issue are:

1. Provide a way for user to escape special characters
2. Make it easy for users to customize Utf8StorageConverter when they have 
their own data format
