Difference between pig and Hive<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Pig<\/th>\nHive<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n
Pig Hadoop Component is generally
\nused by Researchers and Programmers.<\/td>\n		Hive Hadoop Component is mainly used by data analysts.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Pig Hadoop Component is used
\nfor semi structured data.<\/td>\n		Hive Hadoop Component is used for completely structured Data.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Pig Hadoop Component has a procedural data
\nflow language (Pig Latin).<\/td>\n		Hive Hadoop Component has a declarative Structured Query Language (HiveQL).<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Pig can\u2019t start reliance based server.<\/td>\nHive can start reliance based server,send queries from any nook and corner directly to the Hive
\nserver which will execute them.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Pig is also SQL like but it varies from great extent
\nand it will take some time efforts to master Pig.<\/td>\n		Hive directly borrowed SQL expertise it learnt easily.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Avro supported for Pig.<\/td>\nAvro does not support for Hive.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Pig Hadoop Component operates on
\nthe client side of any group.<\/td>\n		Hive Hadoop Component operates on the server side of any group.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Pig Hadoop Component is highly
\nused for programming.<\/td>\n		Hive Hadoop Component is mainly used for generating reports.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Pig Hadoop is a great ETL tool for
\nbig data because of its powerful
\ntransformation and processing capabilities.<\/td>\n		Hive Hadoop Component is helpful for ETL(Extract, Transform and Load).<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
In Pig there is no dedicated metadata database
\nand the schemas or data types will
\nbe defined in the script itself.<\/td>\n		Hive makes use of exact variation of the SQL DLL language by defining the tables beforehand and
\nstoring the schema details in any local database.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Pig Hadoop component does not have
\nany notion for partitions though might
\nbe one can achieve this through filters.<\/td>\n		The Hive Hadoop component has a provision for
\npartitions so that you can process the subset
\nof data by date or in an alphabetical order.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Pig Hadoop Component renders users with sample
\ndata for each scenario and each step through
\nits \u201cIllustrate\u201d function.<\/td>\n		This feature is not incorporated with the
\nHive Hadoop Component.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
