Hi, I am trying to explore a use case for Pig.
Developers within my company have plenty of Excel docs + macro programming (it should be VBA / I don't know myself how to create an Excel macro). They want to exit this kind of programming. They are looking for proposals to treat their Excel docs. Exit VBA : not appropriate Another solution could be Spark, but my guess is that, coming from VBA, it's a bit harsh. The gap is wide. So, I came to think about Pig. Pig has several advantages here: * imperative style programming * Pig could run on a single PC, according to a local mode * Pig could be used to distribute work (on an Hadoop cluster) if the processing is important enough (due to the data volume). The point is: how to run Pig without any Hadoop configuration on a local PC ? That was my previous question/email for this ML. This being said, is there any other person using Pig for a similar Excel-related use case ? Thanks. Regards, Dominique
