How to Store Data
- We can store the loaded data in the file system using the store operator. This explains how to store data in Apache Pig using the Store operator.
Syntax
- The syntax of the Store statement.
STORE Relation_name INTO ' required_directory_path '
Example
- Consider that we have a file student_data.txt in HDFS with the following content.
001,Rajiv,Reddy,9848022337,Hyderabad
002,siddarth,Battacharya,9848022338,Kolkata
003,Rajesh,Khanna,9848022339,Delhi
004,Preethi,Agarwal,9848022330,Pune
005,Trupthi,Mohanthy,9848022336,Bhuwaneshwar
006,Archana,Mishra,9848022335,Chennai.
- And we have read it into a relation student using the LOAD operator as shown below.
grunt> student = LOAD 'hdfs://localhost:9000/pig_data/student_data.txt'
USING PigStorage(',')
as ( id:int, firstname:chararray, lastname:chararray, phone:chararray,
city:chararray );
- We can merging everything to a single file then we can use the copyToLocal command in grunt
grunt> copyToLocal <src> <dest>
