Apache Pig

<p>Apache Pig
is a high-level platform for creating programs that run on <a href="/facts/Hadoop/oUS1G2R7">Apache Hadoop</a>. The language for this platform is called Pig Latin.  Pig can execute its Hadoop jobs in <a href="/facts/MapReduce/KbfxJ5vV">MapReduce</a>, Apache Tez, or <a href="/facts/Apache_Spark/rHQVfSBc">Apache Spark</a>.  Pig Latin abstracts the programming from the <a href="/facts/Java_/9ScgFyAL">Java</a> MapReduce idiom into a notation which makes MapReduce programming high level, similar to that of <a href="/facts/SQL/UjQLJcYm">SQL</a> for <a href="/facts/Relational_database_management_system/pEKGmJLy">relational database management systems</a>. Pig Latin can be extended using <a href="/facts/User-defined_function/IyGboMtT">user-defined functions</a> (UDFs) which the user can write in <a href="/facts/Java_/9ScgFyAL">Java</a>, <a href="/facts/Python_/YbuGqofa">Python</a>, <a href="/facts/JavaScript/XhhIIEsl">JavaScript</a>, <a href="/facts/Ruby_/BeYSaPSR">Ruby</a> or <a href="/facts/Groovy_/vGAckbte">Groovy</a> and then call directly from the language.
