> Pig users often face the need to split the output records into a bunch of files and directories depending on the type of record. Pig's SPLIT operator is useful when record types are few and known in advance. In cases where type is not directly known but is derived dynamically from values of a key field in the output tuple, a custom store function is a better solution.
