Thank you so much, that's pretty much what I was going for but with a
slightly different output.
Just to be clear... are these equivalent?
b = foreach (group a by (country, search_term)) generate flatten(group) as
(country, search_term), COUNT(a) as ct;
b = group a by (country, search_term);
c = foreach b generate flatten(group) as (country, search_term), COUNT(a) as ct;
I'm guessing so... I didn't know you could combine/nest these statements.
After experimenting with your example I'm pretty sure I understand
everything that's going on. I can work with this format but I was
wondering how would I massage this into something like:
(country1, top term1, topterm2, topterm3, ...)
(country2, top term1, topterm2, topterm3, ...)
(country3, top term1, topterm2, topterm3, ...)
Maybe it has to be something like this:
(country1, (top term1, topterm2, topterm3, ...))
So one row per country with the first value being the country and the
following values the top terms in order? Is this even possible with Pig?
Thanks for the clarification.

It sort of depends what format you want the output in, though. Note: if you
know that the number of search terms is low you could do this in memory and
do it in one m/r job, but this version will be scalable.
If this solution doesn't make sense, I can help explain it. It's important
to know what format you want the output in. This would give you every
country (in ascending alphabetical order), and then the search term and
count starting with the highest.

We have logs in the following format
us, foo
us, foo
fr, fizz
us, bar
fr, baz
fr, fizz
us, foo
fr, fizz
Where the first column is a country and the second column is a search term.
How in the world can I output the country followed by the top terms in
order of occurrence... ie:
us, (foo, bar) # Top term for 'us' is foo then bar then ...
fr, (fizz, baz) # Top term for 'fr' is fizz then baz then ...
Thanks
