Thanks Dmitriy.
Regarding your suggestion to use PigStorage('|') and STRSPLIT:
a) yes, PigStorage('|') does work fine (I started from there), but how to
have it work with the AS clause, which contains 5 fields (A,B,C,D,E) ans not
only 3 corresponding to the split using the delimiter '|'.
b) As for the STRSPLIT, when and where should it be used, in order to match
with the AS clause (the A, B, C, D, E) so that I can, later, i.e. after the
LOADing of the data :
(will this work with 5 fields?)
data = LOAD 'mydata.log' USING PigStorage('|') AS (A, B, C, D, E);
(then, where/how goes the STRSPLIT usage ?)
or should I start with only 4 fields:
data = LOAD 'mydata.log' USING PigStorage('|') AS (A, B, CD, E);
and then use STRSPLIT (how?), again, in order to having the following
commands to work as expected:
data_cfoo = FILTER data BY C == 'foo';
data_cfoo_ddoe = FILTER data_cfoo BY D='doe';
Thanks
