You can use multi storage to write out separate files based on a grouping column ..
you would need to first make a unified data set with one of the columns (may be the 1st one ..as below) having the grouping/file name needed .. e.g. C1 20140801,{..some content},{..some content}..., 20140802,{..some content},{..some content}.... : : then use STORE slias INTO '$path' USING org.apache.pig.piggybank.storage.MultiStorage('path','0', 'none', '|'); http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/pig/trunk/contrib/piggybank/java/src/main/java/org/apache/pig/piggybank/storage/MultiStorage.java Cheers !!!
