Apache Pig - Cross Operator

The CROSS operator computes the cross-product of two or more relations. This chapter explains with example how to use the cross operator in Pig Latin.
Given below is the syntax of the CROSS operator.
grunt> Relation3_name = CROSS Relation1_name, Relation2_name;

Assume that we have two files namely customers.txt and orders.txt in the /pig_data/ directory of HDFS as shown below.
customers.txt
1,Ramesh,32,Ahmedabad,2000.00
2,Khilan,25,Delhi,1500.00
3,kaushik,23,Kota,2000.00
4,Chaitali,25,Mumbai,6500.00
5,Hardik,27,Bhopal,8500.00
6,Komal,22,MP,4500.00
7,Muffy,24,Indore,10000.00

orders.txt
102,2009-10-08 00:00:00,3,3000
100,2009-10-08 00:00:00,3,1500
101,2009-11-20 00:00:00,2,1560
103,2008-05-20 00:00:00,4,2060

And we have loaded these two files into Pig with the relations customers and orders as shown below.
grunt> customers = LOAD 'hdfs://localhost:9000/pig_data/customers.txt' USING PigStorage(',')
   as (id:int, name:chararray, age:int, address:chararray, salary:int);
  
grunt> orders = LOAD 'hdfs://localhost:9000/pig_data/orders.txt' USING PigStorage(',')
   as (oid:int, date:chararray, customer_id:int, amount:int);
Let us now get the cross-product of these two relations using the cross operator on these two relations as shown below.
grunt> cross_data = CROSS customers, orders;
Verify the relation cross_data using the DUMP operator as shown below.
grunt> Dump cross_data;
It will produce the following output, displaying the contents of the relation cross_data.
