Delimited File/Stream parser should support multiple delimiter character choices. #206

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
The user would like to load a dataset from a delimited file where multiple 
possible delimiter characters could be used to separate fields. An example of 
what the user must be able to do is to say:

load dataset LineItem
               using "edu.uci.ics.asterix.external.dataset.adapter.NCFileSystemAdapter"
               (("path"="nc1:///home/htc/asterix/bi/tinytest.dat"),("format"="delimited-text"),("delimiter"="<|>")) pre-sorted;

Note the use of multiple characters in the value for "delimiter". The parser 
should treat any occurrence of the mentioned characters as separators for 
fields.

This is a P2 as I see it is marked as an enhancement.
