PIG UDF to convert tuple to multiple tuple output

I am new to PIG and I am trying to create a UDF which get a tuple and return multiple tuple based on a delimited. So I have written one UDF to read the below data file

2012/01/01 Name1 Category1|Category2|Category3
2012/01/01 Name2 Category2|Category3
2012/01/01 Name3 Category1|Category5

Basically i am trying to read $2 field 

Category1|Category2|Category3
Category2|Category3
Category1|Category5

to get the output as :-

Category1, Category2, Category3
Category2, Category3
Category1, Category5

Below is the UDF code i have written..

    package com.test.multipleTuple;    
    import java.io.IOException;
    import org.apache.pig.EvalFunc;
    import org.apache.pig.data.Tuple;
    import org.apache.pig.data.TupleFactory;

    public class TupleToMultipleTuple extends EvalFunc<String> {

        @Override
        public String exec(Tuple input) throws IOException {

            // Keep the count of every cell in the
            Tuple aux = TupleFactory.getInstance().newTuple();

            if (input == null || input.size() == 0)
                return null;
            try {
                String del = "\\|";
                String str = (String) input.get(0);

                String field[] = str.split(del);
                for (String nxt : field) {
                    aux.append(nxt.trim().toString());
                }
            } catch (Exception e) {
                throw new IOException("Caught exception processing input row ", e);
            }

            return aux.toDelimitedString(",");
        }
    }

created Jar --> TupleToMultipleTuple.jar

But I am getting the below error while executing it .

Can you please help me in rectifying the issue. Thanks.

Pig script for applying the UDF..

REGISTER TupleToMultipleTuple.jar;
DEFINE myFunc com.test.multipleTuple.TupleToMultipleTuple();
A = load 'data.txt' USING PigStorage(' ');
B = foreach A generate myFunc($2);
dump B;

Found the issue .. Issue was while parsing DayaByteArray to String.. used toString() to fix it

package com.test.multipleTuple;    
    import java.io.IOException;
    import org.apache.pig.EvalFunc;
    import org.apache.pig.data.Tuple;
    import org.apache.pig.data.TupleFactory;

    public class TupleToMultipleTuple extends EvalFunc<String> {

        @Override
        public String exec(Tuple input) throws IOException {

            // Keep the count of every cell in the
            Tuple aux = TupleFactory.getInstance().newTuple();

            if (input == null || input.size() == 0)
                return null;
            try {
                String del = "\\|";
                String str = (String) input.get(0).toString();

                String field[] = str.split(del);
                for (String nxt : field) {
                    aux.append(nxt.trim().toString());
                }
            } catch (Exception e) {
                throw new IOException("Caught exception processing input row ", e);
            }

            return aux.toDelimitedString(",");
        }
    }

You can use the built-in split function like this:

flatten(STRSPLIT($2,'[|]',3))as(cat1:chararray,cat2:chararray,cat3:chararray)

and you will get 3 tuples named cat1, cat2 and cat2 typed as chararray and delimited by the current delimiter of the relation which they belong to.
