> When executing a STORE command, Pig creates the output location before the storage function gets called. This causes problems with storage functions that have logic to determine the output location. See this thread:
> http://www.mail-archive.com/pig-user%40hadoop.apache.org/msg01538.html
> For example, when making a request like this:
> STORE A INTO '/my/home/output' USING MultiStorage('/my/home/output','0', 'none', '\t');
> Pig creates a file '/my/home/output' and then an exception is thrown when MultiStorage tries to make a directory under '/my/home/output'. The workaround is to instead specify a dummy location as the first path like so:
> STORE A INTO '/my/home/output/temp' USING MultiStorage('/my/home/output','0', 'none', '\t');
> Two changes should be made:
> 1. The path specified in the INTO clause should be available to the storage function so it doesn't need to be duplicated.
> 2. The creation of the output paths should be delegated to the storage function.
