What is Pig?

Apache Pig is a high-level platform for creating MapReduce programs used with Hadoop. Pig provides a high-level language called Pig Latin, which allows programmers to write data flows that are then translated into MapReduce jobs that can be executed on a Hadoop cluster. Pig simplifies the process of querying and transforming large datasets, making it easier to analyze data stored in Hadoop.
