Pig Variables and Semicolons

Pay attention to where you put your semicolons lest they become part of the value!

Pig Script:

%default QUOTED '20090101';
%default UNQUOTED $QUOTED;

l = load '/logs/$QUOTED';
l = load '/logs/$UNQUOTED';


After preprocessing with pig -x local -r script.pig:


;

l = load '/logs/20090101';
l = load '/logs/20090101;';
