Hi Gianmarco, Thanks for the response...
I do understand the Pig Latin is not coupled with anything. Hence, the question for use in another framework. I was referring to what you said secondly. It would be great to run Pig as a Pig Latin Executor without Hadoop. Why was such an extension point a burden? It seems like the right thing to do in terms of design.
