Apache Pig

Apache Pig is a high-level platform for processing large data sets using a scripting language called Pig Latin. It simplifies the task of writing complex MapReduce programs by providing an abstraction over Hadoop, allowing users to perform data manipulation operations such as filtering, joining, and aggregation more easily.

About Apache Pig

Apache Pig was created in 2006 by Yahoo! to simplify the process of analyzing large data sets. It provided a high-level scripting language, Pig Latin, which abstracted the complexity of writing MapReduce programs directly. The goal was to make data processing more accessible and efficient for developers and analysts working with Hadoop.

Strengths of Apache Pig include its ability to handle complex data transformations, ease of use with its high-level scripting language, and integration with Hadoop. Weaknesses include slower performance compared to native MapReduce and limited support for real-time processing. Competitors include Apache Hive, Apache Spark, and Presto.
