  1. Apache Pig • What is it ? • How does

    it work ? • Why use it ? • PigLatin Data Types • PigLatin Maths • PigLatin Example www.semtech-solutions.co.nz [email protected]
  2. Pig – What is it ? • A high level

    language • Used to analyse large data sets • Used to create MapReduce jobs • Abstracts definition of jobs • Uses Pig Latin to define jobs • Less code needed • Compiles to MapReduce code www.semtech-solutions.co.nz [email protected]
  3. Pig – How does it work ? • Three ways

    to use it – Grunt – Pig's interactive shell – Write Pig Latin in a script file – Embed Pig commands in another language • Run modes – Local mode – single machine – Hadoop – run on a Hadoop/MapReduce cluster • Creates MapReduce code automatically www.semtech-solutions.co.nz [email protected]
  4. Pig – Why use it ? • It is quicker

    • It is data omnivorous • It is easy to learn • It is widely used • Minor performance loss – Compared to native code • It can be extended via user defined functions ( UDF ) www.semtech-solutions.co.nz [email protected]
  5. PigLatin Data Types • Int • Long • Float •

    Double • Chararray • Bytearray • Tuple • Bag • Map www.semtech-solutions.co.nz [email protected]
  6. PigLatin Maths Some of the built in maths functions •

    ABS • CEIL • EXP • FLOOR • LOG • ROUND • SIN • TAN www.semtech-solutions.co.nz [email protected]
  7. PigLatin Example Example borrowed from Wikipedia input_lines = LOAD '/tmp/my-copy-of-all-pages-on-internet'

    AS (line:chararray); -- Extract words from each line and put them into a pig bag -- datatype, then flatten the bag to get one word on each row words = FOREACH input_lines GENERATE FLATTEN(TOKENIZE(line)) AS word; -- filter out any words that are just white spaces filtered_words = FILTER words BY word MATCHES '\\w+'; -- create a group for each word word_groups = GROUP filtered_words BY word; -- count the entries in each group word_count = FOREACH word_groups GENERATE COUNT(filtered_words) AS count, group AS word; -- order the records by count ordered_word_count = ORDER word_count BY count DESC; STORE ordered_word_count INTO '/tmp/number-of-words-on-internet'; www.semtech-solutions.co.nz [email protected]
