If you want to externally specify properties for *a* pig script you can put the key value pairs in a conf file and pass its location using --config to pig and those properties will be included.
If you want to externally specify properties for *all* pig script that you run, then modify conf/pig.properties by putting in your key value pairs in it. If you want to specify properties from *within* a pig script then you can use set command in the pig script. This feature will be there in upcoming 0.8 release.
