Using a hive with pigs

Question

My bush request has several external connections and is very time consuming. I was wondering if it makes sense to split it into several smaller queries and use pigs to work on the transformations.

Is there a way I could query the hive tables or read the hive table data in a pig-breeding script?

thanks

Answer 1

The goal of the Howl project is to enable Pig and Hive to share the same metadata repository. Once Howl has matured, you can run PigLatin and HiveQL queries on the same tables. At the moment, you can try to work with data, since it is stored in HDFS.

Please note that Howl has been renamed HCatalog .
