+# = CROSS
+# 
+# Computes the cross product of two or more relations.
+# 
+# == Syntax
+# 
+#   alias = CROSS alias, alias [, alias …] [PARALLEL n];
+#   
+# == Terms
+# 
+# alias::
+#   The name of a relation.
+# 
+# PARALLEL n::
+#   Increase the parallelism of a job by specifying the number of reduce tasks,
+#   n. The optimal number of parallel tasks depends on the amount of memory on
+#   each node and the memory required by each of the tasks. To determine n, use
+#   the following as a general guideline:
+#     n = (nr_nodes - 1) * 0.45 * nr_GB
+#   where nr_nodes is the number of nodes used and nr_GB is the amount of physical
+#   memory on each node.
+# 
+#   Note the following:
+#   * Parallel only affects the number of reduce tasks. Map parallelism is
+#     determined by the input file, one map for each HDFS block.
+#   * If you don’t specify parallel, you still get the same map parallelism but
+#     only one reduce task.
+# 
+# == Usage
+# 
+# Use the CROSS operator to compute the cross product (Cartesian product) of two
+# or more relations.
+# 
+# CROSS is an expensive operation and should be used sparingly.
+# 
+# == Example
+# 
+# Suppose we have relations A and B.
+# 
+#   (A)           (B)
+#   ----------- --------   
+#   (1, 2, 3)    (2, 4)    
+#   (4, 2, 1)    (8, 9)                
+#   	     (1, 3)
+# 
+# In this example the cross product of relation A and B is computed.
+# 
+#    	X = CROSS A, B;
+# 
+# Relation X looks like this.
+# 
+#   (1, 2, 3, 2, 4)
+#   (1, 2, 3, 8, 9)
+#   (1, 2, 3, 1, 3)
+#   (4, 2, 1, 2, 4)

+# DISTINCT
+# 
+# Removes duplicate tuples in a relation.
+# 
+# == Syntax
+# 
+# alias = DISTINCT alias [PARALLEL n];             
+# 
+# == Terms
+# 
+# alias::
+#   The name of a relation.
+# 
+# PARALLEL n::
+#   Increase the parallelism of a job by specifying the number of reduce tasks,
+#   n. The optimal number of parallel tasks depends on the amount of memory on
+#   each node and the memory required by each of the tasks. To determine n, use
+#   the following as a general guideline:
+#     n = (nr_nodes - 1) * 0.45 * nr_GB
+#   where nr_nodes is the number of nodes used and nr_GB is the amount of physical
+#   memory on each node.
+# 
+#   Note the following:
+#   * Parallel only affects the number of reduce tasks. Map parallelism is
+#     determined by the input file, one map for each HDFS block.
+#   * If you don’t specify parallel, you still get the same map parallelism but
+#     only one reduce task.
+# 
+# == Usage
+# 
+# Use the DISTINCT operator to remove duplicate tuples in a relation. DISTINCT
+# does not preserve the original order of the contents (to eliminate duplicates,
+# Pig must first sort the data). You cannot use DISTINCT on a subset of fields. To
+# do this, use FOREACH … GENERATE to select the fields, and then use DISTINCT.
+# 
+# == Example
+# 
+# Suppose we have relation A.
+# 
+#      (A)       
+#   ---------
+#   (8, 3, 4)
+#   (1, 2, 3)                        
+#   (4, 3, 3)                                                                                    
+#   (4, 3, 3)
+#   (1, 2, 3)
+# 
+# In this example all duplicate tuples are removed.
+# 
+#    	X = DISTINCT A;
+# 
+# Relation X looks like this.
+# 
+#   (1, 2, 3)
+#   (4, 3, 3)
+#   (8, 3, 4)
+#
+
+# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+# 
+# FILTER
+# 
+# Selects tuples (rows) from a relation based on some condition.
+# 
+# == Syntax
+# 
+# alias = FILTER alias  BY expression;
+# 
+# == Terms
+# 
+# alias::
+#   The name of a relation.
+# 
+# BY::
+#   Required keyword.
+# 
+# expression::
+#   An expression.
+# 
+# == Usage
+# 
+# Use the FILTER operator to work with tuples (rows) of data. FILTER is commonly
+# used to select the data that you want; or, conversely, to filter out (remove)
+# the data you don’t want.
+# 
+# Note: If you want to work with specific fields (columns) of data, use the
+# FOREACH …GENERATE operation.
+# 
+# == Examples
+# 
+# Suppose we have relation A.
+# 
+#   (A: f1:int, f2:int, f3:int)
+#   ----------------
+#   (1, 2, 3)
+#   (4, 2, 1)
+#   (8, 3, 4)
+#   (4, 3, 3)
+#   (7, 2, 5)
+#   (8, 4, 3)
+# 
+# In this example the condition states that if the third field equals 3, then add the tuple to relation X.
+# 
+#    	X = FILTER A BY f3 == 3;
+# 
+# Relation X looks like this.
+# 
+#   (1, 2, 3)
+#   (4, 3, 3)
+#   (8, 4, 3)
+# 
+# In this example the condition states that if the first field equals 8 or if the sum of fields f2 and f3 is not greater than first field, then add the tuple to relation X.
+# 
+#    	X = FILTER A BY (f1 == 8) OR (NOT (f2+f3 > f1));
+# 
+# Relation X looks like this.
+# 
+#   (4, 2, 1)
+#   (8, 3, 4)
+#   (7, 2, 5)
+#   (8, 4, 3)

+# 
+# FOREACH … GENERATE
+# 
+# Generates data transformations based on fields (columns) of data.
+# 
+# == Syntax
+# 
+# alias  = FOREACH { gen_blk | nested_gen_blk } [AS schema];
+# 
+# == Terms
+# 
+# alias::
+#   The name of a relation.
+# 
+# gen_blk::
+#   FOREACH … GENERATE used with a non-nested relation. Use this syntax:
+#   
+#     alias = FOREACH alias GENERATE expression [expression ….]
+# 
+# nested_gen_blk::
+#   FOREACH … GENERATE used with a nested relation. Use this syntax:
+# 
+#     alias = FOREACH nested_alias {
+#        alias = nested_op; [alias = nested_op; …]
+#        GENERATE expression [expression ….]
+#     };
+# 
+#   where:
+#   * The nested block is enclosed in opening and closing brackets { … }.
+#   * The GENERATE keyword must be the last statement within the nested block.
+# 
+# expression::
+#   An expression.
+# 
+# nested_alias::
+#   If one of the fields (columns) in a relation is a bag, the bag can be treated
+#   as an inner or a nested relation.
+# 
+# nested_op::
+#   Allowable operations include FILTER, ORDER, and DISTINCT.
+# 
+#   The FOREACH … GENERATE operation itself is not allowed since this could lead
+#   to an arbitrary number of nesting levels.
+# 
+# AS::
+#   Keyword.
+# 
+# schema::
+#   A schema using the AS keyword (see Schemas).
+# 
+# * If the FLATTEN keyword is used, enclose the schema in parentheses.
+# 
+# * If the FLATTEN keyword is not used, don't enclose the schema in parentheses.
+# 
+# == Usage
+# 
+# Use the FOREACH …GENERATE operation to work with individual fields (columns) of data. The FOREACH …GENERATE operation works with non-nested and nested relations.
+# 
+# A statement with a non-nested relation A could look like this.
+# 
+# X = FOREACH A GENERATE f1;
+# 
+# A statement with a nested relation A could look like this.
+# 
+# X = FOREACH B {
+# 
+#             S = FILTER A by 'xyz';
+# 
+#             GENERATE COUNT (S.$0);
+# 
+# }
+# 
+# Note: FOREACH … GENERATE works with fields (columns) of data. If you want to work with entire tuples (rows) of data, use the FILTER operation.
+# 
+# == Examples
+# 
+# Suppose we have relations A and B, and derived relation C (where C = COGROUP A BY a1 INNER, B BY b1 INNER;).
+# 
+# (A: a1:int, a2:int, a3:int)

+#  
+# 
+# == Example: Projection
+# 
+# In this example the asterisk (*) is used to project all fields from relation A to relation X (this is similar to SQL Select *). Relation A and X are identical.
+# 
+# X = FOREACH A GENERATE *;
+# 
+# In this example two fields from relation A are projected to form relation X.

+# (8, 3)
+# (4, 3)
+# (7, 2)
+# (8, 4)
+# == Example: Nested Projection
+# 
+# Note: See GROUP for information about the "group" field in relation C.
+# 
+# In this example if one of the fields in the input relation is a tuple, bag or map, we can perform projection on that field.
+# 
+# X = FOREACH C GENERATE group, B.b2;
+# 
+# Relation X looks like this.
+# 
+# (1, {(3)})
+# (4, {(6), (9)})
+# (8, {(9)})
+# 
+# In this example multiple nested columns are retained.
+# 
+# X = FOREACH C GENERATE group, A.(a1, a2);
+# 
+# Relation X looks like this.
+# 
+# (1, {(1, 2)})
+# (4, {(4, 2), (4, 3)})
+# (8, {(8, 3), (8, 4)})
+# == Example: Schema
+# 
+# In this example two fields in relation A are summed to form relation X. A schema is defined for the projected field.
+# 
+# X = FOREACH A GENERATE a1+a2 AS f1:int;
+# 
+# Y = FILTER X by f1 > 10;
+# 
+# Relations X and Y look this.

+# (6)        (12)
+# (11)
+# (7)
+# (9)
+# (12)
+# 
+# == Example: Applying Functions
+# 
+# Note: See GROUP for information about the "group" field in relation C.
+# 
+# In this example the built-in function SUM() is used to sum a set of numbers in a bag.
+# 
+# X = FOREACH C GENERATE group, SUM (A.a1);
+# 
+# Relation X looks like this.
+# 
+# (1, 1)
+# (4, 8)
+# (8, 16)
+# == Example: Flattening
+# 
+# Note: See GROUP for information about the "group" field in relation C.
+# 
+# In this example the FLATTEN keyword is used to eliminate nesting.
+# 
+# X = FOREACH C GENERATE group, FLATTEN(A);
+# 
+# Relation X looks like this.
+# 
+# (1, 1, 2, 3)
+# (4, 4, 2, 1)
+# (4, 4, 3, 3)
+# (8, 8, 3, 4)
+# (8, 8, 4, 3)
+# 
+# Another FLATTEN example.
+# 
+# X = FOREACH C GENERATE GROUP, FLATTEN(A.a3);
+# 
+# Relation X looks like this.
+# 
+# (1, 3)
+# (4, 1)
+# (4, 3)
+# (8, 4)
+# (8, 3)
+# 
+# Another FLATTEN example.
+# 
+# X = FOREACH C GENERATE FLATTEN(A.(f1, f2)), FLATTEN(B.$1);
+# 
+# Relation X looks like this. Note that for the group '4' in C, there are two tuples in each bag. Thus, when both bags are flattened, the cross product of these tuples is returned; that is, tuples (4, 2, 6), (4, 3, 6), (4, 2, 9), and (4, 3, 9).
+# 
+# (1, 2, 3)
+# (4, 2, 6)
+# (4, 3, 6)
+# (4, 2, 9)
+# (4, 3, 9)
+# (8, 3, 9)
+# (8, 4, 9)
+# 
+# == Example: Nested Block
+# 
+# Suppose we have relation A and derived relation B (where B = GROUP A BY url;). Since relation B contains tuples with bags it can be treated as a nested relation.
+# 
+# A (url:chararray, outlink:chararray)          
+# ---------------------------------------------  
+# (www.ccc.com,www.hjk.com)     
+# (www.ddd.com,www.xyz.org)     
+# (www.aaa.com,www.cvn.org)                     
+# (www.www.com,www.kpt.net)
+# (www.www.com,www.xyz.org)
+# (www.ddd.com,www.xyz.org)
+#  
+# 
+# B
+# ---------------------------------------------  
+#  (www.aaa.com,{(www.aaa.com,www.cvn.org)})
+#  (www.ccc.com,{(www.ccc.com,www.hjk.com)})
+#  (www.ddd.com,{(www.ddd.com,www.xyz.org),(www.ddd.com,www.xyz.org)})
+#  (www.www.com,{(www.www.com,www.kpt.net),(www.www.com,www.xyz.org)})
+# 
+# In this example we perform two of the allowed Pig operations, FILTER (FA) and DISTINCT (DA), as well as projection (PA). Note that the last statement in the nested block must be GENERATE.
+# 
+# X = foreach B {
+#         FA= FILTER A BY outlink == 'www.xyz.org';
+#         PA = FA.outlink;
+#         DA = DISTINCT PA;
+#         GENERATE GROUP, COUNT(DA);
+# }

+# GROUP
+# 
+# Groups the data in a single relation.

+# 
+# == Terms
+# 
+# alias::
+#   The name of a relation.
+# 
+# BY::
+#   Keyword. Use this clause to group the relation by fields or by expression.
+# 
+# field_alias::
+#   The name of a field in a relation. This is the group key or key field.
+# 
+#   A relation can be grouped by a single field (f1) or by the composite value of
+#   multiple fields (f1,f2).
+# 
+# *::
+#   The asterisk. A designator for all fields in the relation.
+# 
+# expression::
+#   An expression.
+# 
+# ALL::
+#   Keyword. Use ALL if you want all tuples to go to a single group; for example, when doing aggregates across entire relations.

+# 
+# == Usage
+# 
+# The GROUP operator groups together tuples that have the same group key (key
+# field). The result of a GROUP operation is a relation that includes one tuple
+# per group. This tuple contains two fields:
+# 
+# * The first field is named "group" (do not confuse this with the GROUP operator)
+#   and is the same type of the group key.
+# 
+# * The second field takes the name of the original relation and is type bag.
+# 
+# Suppose we have the following data:
+# 
+#   john      25      3.6
+#   george  25      2.9
+#   anne     27      3.9
+#   julia      28      3.6
+# 
+# And, suppose we perform the LOAD and GROUP statements shown below. We can use
+# the DESCRIBE operator to view the schemas for relation Y. We can use DUMP to
+# view the contents of Y.
+# 
+# Note that relation Y has two fields. The first field is named "group" and is
+# type int (the same as age). The second field takes the name of the original
+# relation "X" and is type bag (that can contain tuples with three elements of
+# type chararray, int, and float).
+# 
+# Statements
+# 
+#   X = LOAD 'data AS (name:chararray, age:int, gpa:float);

+# 
+# == Usage
+# 
+# Use the JOIN operator to join two or more relations based on common field
+# values. The JOIN operator always performs an inner join.
+# 
+# Note: The JOIN and COGROUP operators perform similar functions. JOIN creates a
+# flat set of output records while COGROUP creates a nested set of output records.
+# 
+# == Example
+# 
+# Suppose we have relations A and B.
+# 
+# (A: a1, a2, a3)   (B: b1, b2)
+# -----------------       ---------------        
+# (1, 2, 3)             (2, 4)    
+# (4, 2, 1)             (8, 9)                
+# (8, 3, 4)             (1, 3)                
+# (4, 3, 3)             (2, 7)

+# (8, 4, 3)             (4, 6)
+#                         (4, 9)
+# 
+# In this example relations A and B are joined on their first fields.

+# 
+# alias::

+# 
+# n::
+#   The number of tuples.
+# 
+# == Usage
+# 
+# Use the LIMIT operator to limit the number of output tuples (rows). If the
+# specified number of output tuples is equal to or exceeds the number of tuples in
+# the relation, the output will include all tuples in the relation.
+# 
+# There is no guarantee which tuples will be returned, and the tuples that are
+# returned can change from one run to the next. A particular set of tuples can be
+# requested using the ORDER operator followed by LIMIT.
+# 
+# Note: The LIMIT operator allows Pig to avoid processing all tuples in a
+# relation. In most cases a query that uses LIMIT will run more efficiently than
+# an identical query that does not use LIMIT. It is always a good idea to use
+# limit if you can.
+# 
+# == Examples
+# 
+# Suppose we have relation A.
+#   
+#   (A: f1:int, f2:int, f3:int)

+# 
+# USING::
+#   Keyword.
+# 
+# function::
+#   The load function.
+# 
+#   PigStorage is the default load/store function and does not need to be

+# 
+# AS::
+#   Keyword.
+# 
+# schema::
+#   A schema using the AS keyword, enclosed in parentheses (see Schemas).
+# 
+# == Usage
+# 
+# Use the LOAD operator to load data from the file system.
+# 
+# == Examples
+# 
+# Suppose we have a data file called myfile.txt. The fields are tab-delimited. The
+# records are newline-separated.
+#   
+#   1          2          3
+#   4          2          1

+# 
+# In this example the default load function, PigStorage, loads data from

+#   A field in the relation.
+# 
+# PARALLEL n::
+#   Increase the parallelism of a job by specifying the number of reduce tasks,
+#   n. The optimal number of parallel tasks depends on the amount of memory on
+#   each node and the memory required by each of the tasks. To determine n, use
+#   the following as a general guideline:
+#     n = (nr_nodes - 1) * 0.45 * nr_GB
+#   where nr_nodes is the number of nodes used and nr_GB is the amount of physical
+#   memory on each node.
+# 
+#   Note the following:
+#   * Parallel only affects the number of reduce tasks. Map parallelism is
+#     determined by the input file, one map for each HDFS block.
+#   * If you don’t specify parallel, you still get the same map parallelism but
+#     only one reduce task.
+# 
+# == Usage
+# 
+# In Pig, relations are logically unordered.
+# 
+# * If you order relation A to produce relation X (X = ORDER A BY * DESC;),

+# About Data Guarantees
+# 
+# Data guarantees are determined based on the position of the streaming operator in the Pig script.
+# 
+# * Unordered data – No guarantee for the order in which the data is delivered to
+#   the streaming application.
+# 
+# * Grouped data – The data for the same grouped key is guaranteed to be provided
+#   to the streaming application contiguously
+# 
+# * Grouped and ordered data – The data for the same grouped key is guaranteed to
+#   be provided to the streaming application contiguously. Additionally, the data
+#   within the group is guaranteed to be sorted by the provided secondary key.
+# 
+# In addition to position, data grouping and ordering can be determined by the
+# data itself. However, you need to know the property of the data to be able to
+# take advantage of its structure.
+# 
+# == Example: Data Guarantees
+# 
+# In this example the data is unordered.
+# 
+# A = LOAD 'data';
+# B = STREAM A THROUGH `stream.pl`;
+# 
+# In this example the data is grouped.
+# 
+# A = LOAD 'data';
+# B = GROUP A BY $1;
+# C = FOREACH B FLATTEN(A);
+# D = STREAM C THROUGH `stream.pl`
+# 
+# In this example the data is grouped and ordered.

+# A = LOAD 'data';
+# B = GROUP A BY $1;
+# C = FOREACH B {
+#       D = ORDER A BY ($3, $4);
+#       GENERATE D;
+# }
+# E = STREAM C THROUGH `stream.pl`;
+# 
+# == Example: Schemas

+# 
+# == Usage
+# 
+# Use the UNION operator to compute the union of two or more relations. The UNION operator:
+# 
+# * Does not preserve the order of tuples. Both the input and output relations are
+#   interpreted as unordered bags of tuples.
+# 
+# * Does not ensure (as databases do) that all tuples adhere to the same schema or

+#   should be the case; therefore, it is the user's responsibility to either (1)
+#   ensure that the tuples in the input relations have the same schema or (2) be
+#   able to process varying tuples in the output relation.
+# 
+# * Does not eliminate duplicate tuples.

+# ILLUSTRATE
+# 
+# Displays a step-by-step execution of a sequence of statements.
+# 
+# == Syntax
+# 
+# ILLUSTRATE alias;                                                 
+# 
+# == Terms
+# 
+# alias::
+#   The name of a relation.
+# 
+# == Usage
+# 
+# Use the ILLUSTRATE operator to review how data items are transformed through a
+# sequence of Pig Latin statements.
+# 
+# ILLUSTRATE accesses the ExampleGenerator algorithm which can select an
+# appropriate and concise set of example data items automatically. It does a
+# better job than random sampling would do; for example, random sampling suffers
+# from the drawback that selective operations such as filters or joins can
+# eliminate all the sampled data items, giving you empty results which is of no
+# help with debugging.
+# 
+# With the ILLUSTRATE operator you can test your programs on small datasets and
+# get faster turnaround times. The ExampleGenerator algorithm uses Pig's Local
+# mode (rather than Hadoop mode) which means that illustrative example data is
+# generated in near real-time.
+# 
+# == Example
+# 
+# Suppose we have a data file called 'visits.txt'.
+# Amy     cnn.com            20080218
+# Fred    harvard.edu         20081204
+# Amy     bbc.com            20081205
+# Fred    stanford.edu        20081206
+# 
+# In this example we count the number of sites a user has visited since
+# 12/1/08. The ILLUSTRATE statement will show how the results for num_user_visits
+# are derived.
+# 
+# visits = LOAD 'visits.txt' AS (user:chararray, url:chararray, timestamp:chararray);
+# 
+# recent_visits = FILTER visits BY timestamp >= '20081201';
+# 
+# user_visits = GROUP recent_visits BY user;
+# 
+# num_user_visits = FOREACH user_visits GENERATE COUNT(recent_visits);
+# 
+# ILLUSTRATE num_user_visits
+# 
+# The output from the ILLUSTRATE statement looks like this.
+#

+# 
+# == Terms
+# 
+# alias::

+#   The name of a function.
+# 
+# Use this option to define functions for use with the FOREACH and FILTER operators.
+# 
+# `command `::

+# 
+# 
+# == Usage
+# 
+# Use the DEFINE statement to assign a name (alias) to a function or to a command.
+# 
+# Use DEFINE to specify a function when:
+# 
+# * The function has a log package name that you don't want to include in a
+#   script, especially if you call the function several times in that script.
+# 
+# * The constructor for the function takes parameters (see the first example
+#   below). If you need to use different constructor parameters for different
+#   calls to the function you will need to create multiple defines – one for each
+#   parameter set.
+# 
+# Use DEFINE to specify a command when the streaming command specification is
+# complex or requires additional parameters (input, output, and so on).
+# 
+# === About Input and Output
+# 
+# Serialization is needed to convert data from tuples to a format that can be
+# processed by the streaming application. Deserialization is needed to convert the
+# output from the streaming application back into tuples.
+# 
+# PigStorage, the default serialization/deserialization function, converts tuples
+# to tab-delimited lines. Pig's BinarySerializer and BinaryDeserializer functions
+# treat the entire file as a byte stream (no formatting or interpretation takes
+# place). You can also write your own serialization/deserialization functions.
+# 
+# === About Ship
+# 
+# Use the ship option to send streaming binary and supporting files, if any, from
+# the client node to the compute nodes. Pig does not automatically ship
+# dependencies; it is your responsibility to explicitly specify all the
+# dependencies and to make sure that the software the processing relies on (for
+# instance, perl or python) is installed on the cluster. Supporting files are
+# shipped to the task's current working directory and only relative paths should
+# be specified. Any pre-installed binaries should be specified in the path.
+# 
+# Only files, not directories, can be specified with the ship option. One way to
+# work around this limitation is to tar all the dependencies into a tar file that
+# accurately reflects the structure needed on the compute nodes, then have a
+# wrapper for your script that un-tars the dependencies prior to execution.
+# 
+# Note that the ship option has two components: the source specification, provided
+# in the ship clause, is the view of your machine; the command specification is
+# the view of the cluster.The only guarantee is that the shipped files are
+# available is the current working directory of the launched job and that your
+# current working directory is also on the PATH environment variable.
+# 
+# Shipping files to relative paths or absolute paths is not supported since you
+# might not have permission to read/write/execute from arbitrary paths on the
+# clusters.
+# 
+# === About Cache
+# 
+# The ship option works with binaries, jars, and small datasets. However, loading
+# larger datasets at run time for every execution can severely impact
+# performance. Instead, use the cache option to access large files already moved
+# to and available on the compute nodes. Only files, not directories, can be
+# specified with the cache option.
+# 
+# == Example: Input/Output
+# 
+# In this example PigStorage is the default serialization/deserialization
+# function. The tuples from relation A are converted to tab-delimited lines that
+# are passed to the script.
+# 
+#   X = STREAM A THROUGH `stream.pl`;
+# 
+# In this example PigStorage is used as the serialization/deserialization
+# function, but a comma is used as the delimiter.
+# 
+#   DEFINE Y `stream.pl` INPUT(stdin USING PigStorage(',')) OUTPUT (stdout USING PigStorage(','));
+#   X = STREAM A THROUGH Y;
+# 
+# In this example user-defined serialization/deserialization functions are used
+# with the script.
+# 
+#   DEFINE Y `stream.pl` INPUT(stdin USING MySerializer) OUTPUT (stdout USING MyDeserializer);
+#   X = STREAM A THROUGH Y;
+# 
+# == Example: Ship/Cache
+# 
+# In this example ship is used to send the script to the cluster compute nodes.
+# 
+#   DEFINE Y `stream.pl` SHIP('/work/stream.pl');
+#   X = STREAM A THROUGH Y;
+# 
+# In this example cache is used to specify a file located on the cluster compute
+# nodes.
+# 
+#   DEFINE Y `stream.pl data.gz` SHIP('/work/stream.pl') CACHE('/input/data.gz#data.gz');
+#   X = STREAM A THROUGH Y;
+# 
+# == Example: Logging
+# 
+# In this example the streaming stderr is stored in the _logs/<dir> directory of
+# the job's output directory. Because the job can have multiple streaming
+# applications associated with it, you need to ensure that different directory
+# names are used to avoid conflicts. Pig stores up to 100 tasks per streaming job.
+# 
+#   DEFINE Y `stream.pl` stderr('<dir>' limit 100);
+#   X = STREAM A THROUGH Y;
+# 
+# In this example a function is defined for use with the FOREACH …GENERATE operator.
+#   grunt> REGISTER /src/myfunc.jar
+#   grunt> define myFunc myfunc.MyEvalfunc('foo');
+#   grunt> A = LOAD 'students';
+#   grunt> B = FOREACH A GENERATE myFunc($0);
+# 
+# In this example a command is defined for use with the STREAM operator.
+#   grunt> A = LOAD 'data';
+#   grunt> DEFINE cmd `stream_cmd –input file.dat`
+#   grunt> B = STREAM A through cmd.
