Hello,
I am new to Pig and I am trying to figure out how to do this. I have noticed some examples that look like:

Split A into B, C;

I understand that these examples are probably about adding such implicit splits. But I would like to do it explicitly in my pig script. Is there a way to do it without the if condition. Or Is there a way to do "if true"?

Thanks,
Iman.

Iman,

What exactly are you trying to do?  If you want to just copy A into another
alias, you can say

B = foreach A generate *;

The parser (at least in trunk as of about 3 weeks ago) doesn't like the more
compact B = A, but the above gets the job done.  Is that what you were
after?

Split A into  B if 1 == 1, C if 1 ==1;

Thank you Santhosh, Kevin for your suggestions.

Yes, I was looking for using split to make a copy of the data to make sure I am benefiting from the code in the multiquery branch.

Thanks,
Iman.
