Applications Using Pig:

a. Data Transformation:

 Pig is used to clean, filter, and transform raw data into a structured format before storing it
in databases.

 Example: normalizing data, and filtering invalid records.

b. Data Aggregation:

 Pig performs complex data aggregation like sum, average, count, and grouping over large
datasets.

 Example: Calculating average sales per region from a retail dataset.

c. Data Analysis and Reporting:

 Pig scripts can analyze user behavior, social media trends, or sensor data. It Helps in
generating business reports.

 Example: Analyzing sales data per region from a retail dataset.

d. Data Sampling:

 Pig can extract random samples from large datasets for testing or analysis.

 Example: Selecting 10% of data from sales dataset to test a machine learning model.

e. Data Join and Merge:

 Pig supports data joining operations, allowing integration of data from multiple sources.

 Example: Joining sales data with customer data to generate marketing reports.

f. Text Processing

 Can process large volumes of unstructured data such as tweets, log files, or emails.

g. ETL Processes

 Pig is often used in ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) workflows.

3. Applications Using Hive:

a. Data Warehousing:

 Hive is widely used for creating data warehouses to store structured data.

 Example: Storing transactional data and querying it for monthly sales reports.

b. Business Intelligence (BI):

 Hive can work with with BI tools like Tableau and Power BI for data visualization and
reporting.

 Example: Visualizing sales trends using sales data in tableau or power BI.
c. Log Data Analysis:

 Hive can analyze structured logs to find patterns, errors, or performance issues.

 Example: Analyzing web server logs to identify peak traffic hours.

d. ETL Processing:

 Hive can perform ETL operations using complex queries.

 Example: Extracting data from raw logs, transforming it into structured format, and loading
it into tables.

e. Partitioning and Bucketing

 Supports partitioning and bucketing to improve query performance on huge datasets.

f. Reports

 Helps in generating business reports.
