- Pig is a dataflow programming environment for processing very large files. 
Pig's language is called Pig Latin. A Pig Latin program consists of a directed 
acyclic graph where each node represents an operation that transforms data. 
Operations are of two flavors: (1) relational-algebra style operations such as 
join, filter, project; (2) functional-programming style operators such as map, 
reduce.

Latin program consists of a directed acyclic graph where each node represents

relational-algebra style operations such as join, filter, project; (2) 
functional-programming style operators such as map, reduce. 
  
  Pig compiles these dataflow programs into (sequences of) map-reduce jobs and 
executes them using Hadoop. It is also possible to execute Pig Latin programs 
in a "local" mode (without Hadoop cluster), in which case all processing takes 
place in a single local JVM.
