employee_details.txt
001,Robin,22,newyork 002,BOB,23,Kolkata 003,Maya,23,Tokyo 004,Sara,25,London 005,David,23,Bhuwaneshwar 006,Maggy,22,Chennai

grunt> emp_data = LOAD 'hdfs://localhost:9000/pig_data/employee_details.txt' USING PigStorage(',') as (id:int, name:chararray, age:int, city:chararray);
Let us now convert the id, name and age of each student (record) into a tuple.
grunt> totuple = FOREACH emp_data GENERATE TOTUPLE (id,name,age);
