Hi All,

I have requirement where I need to skip the file header on each load using pig.

Is there any way to skip the header row while processing? apart from using RANK?

What's the file type? If its CSV, you can use CSVExcelStorage. Otherwise, the following should work.

A = LOAD 'file_name' as (line:chararray);

B = FILTER A by $0>1;

See the following link for more options on this.
