Hortonworks Data Platform deploys Apache Pig for your Hadoop cluster.
Apache Pig is a platform for analyzing large data sets that consists of a high-level language for expressing data analysis programs, coupled with infrastructure for evaluating these programs. The structure of Pig programs is amenable to substantial parallelization, which enables them to handle very large data sets.
At the present time, Pig's infrastructure layer consists of a compiler that produces sequences of Map-Reduce programs. Pig's language layer currently consists of a textual language called Pig Latin, which is easy to use, optimized, and extensible.
