Hadoop continues to be the most popular framework to develop distributed data-processing applications. Although programming Hadoop applications in Java is not particularly difficult, designing efficient MapReduce pipelines does require a good amount of experience. Apache Pig simplifies Hadoop development by offering a high level language, called Pig Latin, and an execution runtime. Pig Latin is procedural and provides a SQL-like interface to work with large datasets. The execution infrastructure compiles Pig Latin into an optimized sequence of MapReduce programs that run on the cluster. Pig Latin is extensible through user-defined functions in different languages such as Ruby, JavaScript, Python and Java.

Thoughtworks acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the land where we work and live, and their continued connection to Country. We pay our respects to Elders past and present. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples were the world's first scientists, technologists, engineers and mathematicians. We celebrate the stories, culture and traditions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders of all communities who also work and live on this land. 

 

As a company, we invite Thoughtworkers to be actively engaged in advancing reconciliation and strengthen their solidarity with the First Peoples of Australia. Since 2019, we have been working with Reconciliation Australia to formalize our commitment and take meaningful action to advance reconciliation. We invite you to review our Reconciliation Action Plan.
