Description

"split" statement is better to have a default destination, eg:

SPLIT A INTO X IF f1<7, Y IF f2==5, Z IF (f3<6 OR f3>6), OTHER otherwise; -- OTHERS has all tuples with f1>=7 && f2!=5 && f3==6

This is a candidate project for Google summer of code 2011. More information about the program can be found at http://wiki.apache.org/pig/GSoc2011
