Apache Pig Cross operator

The CROSS operator calculates the vector product of two or more relationships. /b10> This chapter will provide examples of how to use the cross operator in Pig Latin.

Grammar

The syntax of the CROSS operator is given below.

grunt> Relation3_name = CROSS Relation1_name, Relation2_name;

Cases

Suppose you have two files in the /pig_data/directory of HDFS, the .txt and the orders .txt, as shown below.

customers.txt

1,Ramesh,32,Ahmedabad,2000.00
2,Khilan,25,Delhi,1500.00
3,kaushik,23,Kota,2000.00
4,Chaitali,25,Mumbai,6500.00
5,Hardik,27,Bhopal,8500.00
6,Komal,22,MP,4500.00
7,Muffy,24,Indore,10000.00

orders.txt

102,2009-10-08 00:00:00,3,3000
100,2009-10-08 00:00:00,3,1500
101,2009-11-20 00:00:00,2,1560
103,2008-05-20 00:00:00,4,2060

Load the two files into Pig, through the relationship customers and orders, as shown below.

grunt> customers = LOAD 'hdfs://localhost:9000/pig_data/customers.txt' USING PigStorage(',')
   as (id:int, name:chararray, age:int, address:chararray, salary:int);
  
grunt> orders = LOAD 'hdfs://localhost:9000/pig_data/orders.txt' USING PigStorage(',')
   as (oid:int, date:chararray, customer_id:int, amount:int);

Now let's use the cross operator to get the vector product of the two relationships, as shown below.

grunt> cross_data = CROSS customers, orders;

Verify

Use the DUMP operator to validate the relationship cross_data, as shown below.

grunt> Dump cross_data;

Output

It produces the following output, which shows the cross_data relationship.
