I look into the return data bag as an option.  The problem is the Loader
interface require me to return a Tuple object.

   public Tuple getNext() throws IOException {

but the DataBag interface is not a derive class of Tuple so this means I
will need to change the internal code for pig for my loader to return a bag
of tuples.  Right?
