Adding to answer of rsp, there are 2 advantages of using PigStorage

  1. Option to specify the file delimiter

  2. Option to load the schema of the input or not.

The default is to use PigStorage, which is a textfile in which fields are separated by a delimeter, with the tab character as the delimeter.

Specifying using PigStorage(',') changes the delimeter to a comma.
