Jeff: Basically, edit the pig.properties to ..... pig.load.default.statements=/tmp/.temppigbootup .....
and in file /tmp/.temppigbootup, you have load statement data = LOAD 'top_queries_input_data.txt' AS (query:CHARARRAY, count:INT); you can edit content to use other loader here. Hope it is helpful. This is different from what you want, and I am also searching if we can define default loader other than PigStorage.
