Generating multiple lines output from single line input in pig

Question

My requirement is to generate multiple lines of output by using single line of input in pig scripting. What are the possible solutions?

Answer 1

The idea is to convert you input line into a bag and then flatten it. Here could be 2 cases:

Reading text:

txt = load '/pig_fun/input/text.txt' using TextLoader();
words = foreach txt generate TOKENIZE($0);
pivoted = foreach words generate FLATTEN($0);
dump pivoted;
