Dear Wiki user, You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Pig Wiki" for change notification.
The following page has been changed by AlanGates: http://wiki.apache.org/pig/FrontPage ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Pig compiles these dataflow programs into (sequences of) map-reduce jobs and executes them using Hadoop. It is also possible to execute Pig Latin programs in a "local" mode (without Hadoop cluster), in which case all processing takes place in a single local JVM. == News == + + '''Pig is Getting Faster!''' 2-6 times faster, for many queries. We've created a set of benchmarks and run them against the pig 0.1.0 release (modified to run on hadoop + 0.18) and against the code on the types branch (which will soon be merged into trunk and released as version 0.2.0). Joins and order + bys in particular made large performance gains. See PigMix for complete details. '''Pig Has Grown Up!'''. As of today (10/22/08) Pig has graduated from the [http://incubator.apache.org/ Incubator] and joined [http://hadoop.apache.org/ Hadoop] as a subproject. The actual transition will occur in the next couple of weeks.
