Pig output goes to STDOUT, info goes to STDERR. If you want to log both,
use pig xxxx > filename 2>&1
You can open a file to log inside UDF, but your log will be in different
work nodes. For debugging purpose, usually I print some debugging output
to STDOUT, and check the JobTracker UI.

Hello,
This may seem a dumb question..
Is there a way to log the pig output to a file?
I tried
pig test.pig> filename
However that does not work.
A related question:
How can we use logging in a UDF that logs out to a file?
Best,
