Hadoop2010: Hadoop and Pig at Twitter

Filed under: Hadoop,Pig — Patrick Durusau @ 5:33 pm

Hadoop2010: Hadoop and Pig at Twitter video of presentation by Kevin Weil.

From the description:

Apache Pig is a high-level framework built on top of Hadoop that offers a powerful yet vastly simplified way to analyze data in Hadoop. It allows businesses to leverage the power of Hadoop in a simple language readily learnable by anyone that understands SQL. In this presentation, Twitter’s Kevin Weil introduces Pig and shows how it has been used at Twitter to solve numerous analytics challenges that had become intractable with a former MySQL-based architecture.

I started to simply do the listing for the Hadoop Summit 2010 but the longer I watched Kevin’s presentation, the more I thought it needed to be singled out.

If you don’t already know Pig, you will be motivated to learn Pig after this presentation.
