Input file

Mary had a little lamb
its fleece was white as snow
and everywhere that Mary went
the lamb was sure to go.

Pig Word Count Code

-- Load input from the file named Mary, and call the single
-- field in the record 'line'.
input = load 'mary' as (line);

-- TOKENIZE splits the line into a field for each word.
-- flatten will take the collection of records returned by
-- TOKENIZE and produce a separate record for each one, calling the single
-- field in the record word.
words = foreach input generate flatten(TOKENIZE(line)) as word;

-- Now group them together by each word.
grpd = group words by word;

-- Count them.
cntd = foreach grpd generate group, COUNT(words);

-- Print out the results.
dump cntd;
