Comparative Analysis of MapReduce, Hive and Pig

The size of data being handled by many applications is becoming alarmingly large and unmanageable by conventional database management techniques. This paper leverages the comparative study of Hadoop's programming paradigm (Map reduce) and Hadoop's ecosystems Hive and Pig. The processing time of map reduce, hive and pig is implemented on a data set with simple queries. It is observed that Pig processes the data in shorter time as compared with Map reduce and Hive. It is not necessary that only Pig is useful other techniques are also useful under different constraints.
