When and when not to use PigStore

Question

Hi. I am new to pig and I am looking at different examples. I have a query. Sometimes Pigstore is used and sometimes not. How to decide when to use pigstore and when not to use it?

Answer 1

The Pig storage is not used only where the dataset is having '\t' as delimiter else you need to use pig storage. It will load properly but when you will dump it then you will not be able to see the relevant output.

If we do not use PigStorage while loading a comma separated file, for example, it is not going to load the data.
