Apache Pig

Apache Pig is an open-source platform designed to facilitate the processing of large datasets in a distributed computing environment, primarily on Hadoop. It uses a high-level scripting language called Pig Latin, which allows users to write data analysis scripts that are easier to understand and manage than lower-level programming languages. Pig handles the complexities of parallel processing, making it easier for users to focus on data manipulation without needing in-depth knowledge of Hadoop's architecture. This enables efficient data analysis, especially for tasks like data transformation, filtering, and aggregation.
