There is a built in storage handler for HBase. Take a look at the docs at https://pig.apache.org/docs/r0.14.0/api/org/apache/pig/backend/hadoop/hbase/HBaseStorage.html
It doesn't support dealing with salted rowkeys (or reverse timestamps) out of the box, so you may have to munge with the data a little bit after it's loaded to get what you want. Hope this helps.
