> I run a streaming job with a Ctrl-A character in the command line option as follows:
> $HSTREAMING -mapper "/bin/sort -t'^A'" -input "input/*" -output output
> It causes a exeception as listed below. If i run the same command without the Ctrl-A character the command completes successfully.
> Exception in thread "main" org.apache.hadoop.ipc.RemoteException: java.io.IOException: java.lang.RuntimeException: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Character reference "&#1" is an invalid XML character.
