I use pig local mode extensively, which cuts development time dramatically. If you can do this in Cygwin, it would help you be much more productive.
pig -l /tmp -x local -v -w This is covered in chapters 3 and 4 of my book, in which we go from localhost to a cluster on EMR. http://ofps.oreilly.com/titles/9781449326265/chapter_3.html For UDFs I use IntelliJ. Would setup instructions be helpful? I could blog them.
