Overall Satisfaction with Apache Pig
We mainly use Apache Pig for its capabilities that allows us to easily create data pipelines. Also it comes with its native language Pig latin which helps to manage to code execution easily. It brings the important features of most of the database systems like Hive, DBMS, Spark-SQL.
- Useful for map -reducing huge datasets
- Easy to learn and deploy
- Optimization is higher compared to relative products.
- Pace of introducing new features is very slow.
- Community is also relatively small because it is still in early stage.
- Debug functionality is not there, also it is compile time
- Easily process any size of data
- Understanding schema is also very easy
- Reduces complexity of implementing Map-Reduce
- Inefficient Debugging
- Writing UDFs is very challenging
It can accommodate Map Reduce in a single script and a single fine. IT has very much documentation present for easy learning. SQL like queries makes it easy to understand
