What are the components in Pig

Question

Hi, 

I have started learning Pig, where it was given that Pig has two components, pig Latin and A Runtime environment. But they did not mention what it actually is? Can someone explain something? 

Answer 1

Hi,

Yes, this is absolutely correct that pig consists of two components, i.e, pig Latin and Runtime environment, which comes under the Architecture of pig.

1. Pig Latin:- Pig Latin is nothing but a language, which is useful for analyzing the large data set.
2. A Runtime Environment:- This is used for running pig Latin programs. A Pig Latin program consists of a series of operations, which are applied to the input data to produce output These operations describe a data flow which is translated into an executable representation
