pig -P /mapr/ANALYTICS/apps/PigTest/pig.properties -f pig_if_condition.pig

Pig script is:
test = load '$path' USING PigStorage(',') AS (ip:chararray,country:chararray);
DUMP test;

Answer 1

-param (-p) is to specify a single parameter. To specify parameter file we have to use -param_file attribute.
Short Cut Commands :
-m same as -param_file
-p same as -param
Usage :
pig -param_file {property_file} -f {pig_file}
example :
pig -param_file a.properties -f a.pig
Pig Script : a.pig
A = LOAD '$INPUT' USING PigStorage(',') AS (country_code:chararray, country_name:chararray);
DUMP A;
Property File : a.properties
INPUT=a.csv
test file : a.csv
IN,India
US,United States
UK,United Kingdom
Output :
