Zebra Bug: splitting map into multiple column group using storage hint causes 
unexpected behaviour
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: PIG-949
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-949
             Project: Pig
          Issue Type: Bug
         Environment: linux
            Reporter: Alok Singh


Hi 

 The storage hint
specification plays a important part whether the output table is readable or not

say if we have have the map 'map'.

One can split the map into a column group using [map#{k1}, map#{k2}...] 
however the remaining map field will automatically be added to the default 
group.

if user try to create a new column group for the remaining fields as follows

[map#{k1}, map#{k2}, ..][map] i.e create a seperate column group

the table writer will create the table.

however, if one tries to load the created table via pig or via map reduce using 
TableInputFormat
 
then the reader  have problem reading the map

We get the following stack trace
