Hi Mohit
I'm not an expert in pig and it'd be better using the pig user group
for pig specific queries. I'd try to help you with some basic trouble shooting
of the same
It sounds strange that pig's XML Loader can't load larger XML files that
consists of multiple blocks. Or is it like, pig is not able to load the
concatenated files that you are trying with? If that is the case then it could
be because of some issues since you are just appending multiple xml file
contents into a single file.
Pig users can give you some workarounds how they are dealing with loading of
small xml files that are stored efficiently.

I am using pig's XMLLoader in piggybank to read xml files concatenated in
a text file. But pig script doesn't work when file is big that causes
hadoop to split the files.
Any suggestions on how I can make it work? Below is my simple script that I
would like to enhance, only if it starts working. Please note this works
for small files.
register '/root/pig-0.8.1-cdh3u3/contrib/piggybank/java/piggybank.jar'
raw = LOAD '/examples/testfile5.txt using
org.apache.pig.piggybank.storage.XMLLoader('<abc>') as (document:chararray);
dump raw;
