I've been having problems getting data properly into something like
CREATE TABLE raw(a string, b string, c string) ROW FORMAT DELIMITED FIELDS 
TERMINATED BY '\001' STORED AS TEXTFILE;
using a script for the INSERT OVERWRITE call.

Only column a data would be filled. The problems whent away when I switched 
using '\t' as the field delimiter. Is there a known issue with using 
non-standard field delimiters? I checked the data being inserted by the script, 
but the \001 delimiters were properly used. Is it possible hive can handle 
these delimiters internally, but uses some processing on data returned by 
scripts that would render them useless?
