Zebra in PIG

Does PIG by default uses Zebra to store and retrieve the data in columnar table format ??

There are Zebra load and store functions that you can use with Pig to read and write data stored in Zebra format (which is columnar).  Pig never uses it by default; you the user have to specify it, like:

A = load 'foo' using TableLoader();
...
