Pig's language, Pig Latin, is a simple query algebra that lets you express data transformations such as merging data sets, filtering them, and applying functions to records or groups of records. Users can create their own functions to do special-purpose processing. - Pig Latin queries execute in a distributed fashion on a cluster. Our current implementation compiles Pig Latin programs into Map-Reduce jobs, and executes them using Hadoop cluster. + Pig Latin queries execute in a distributed fashion on a cluster. Our current implementation compiles Pig Latin programs into Map-Reduce jobs, and executes them using Hadoop cluster. It's also possible to execute queries + in a "local" mode (without Hadoop cluster), with performance limitations caused by running all processing in a single local JVM. == General Information == * [http://incubator.apache.org/pig/ official Pig website] == User Documentation == + * GettingStarted * IsPigRightForYou * This [attachment:piglatin.pdf document] describes Pig Latin from academic viewpoint, and discusses the relationship to other data-centric programming models.
