Introducing PigPen: Map-Reduce for Clojure by Matt Bossenbroek.

From the post:

It is our pleasure to release PigPen to the world today. PigPen is map-reduce for Clojure. It compiles to Apache Pig, but you don’t need to know much about Pig to use it.

What is PigPen?

  • A map-reduce language that looks and behaves like clojure.core
  • The ability to write map-reduce queries as programs, not scripts
  • Strong support for unit tests and iterative development

Note: If you are not familiar at all with Clojure, we strongly recommend that you try a tutorial here, here, or here to understand some of the basics.

Not a quick read but certainly worth the effort!
