Top 3 Apache Pig Books<\/span><\/h2>\n

So, here is the list of 3 most prominent books on Apache Pig.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

1. Beginning Apache Pig<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"Beginning<\/a>by Balaswamy Vaddeman<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

This book covers all the basics of Pig from setup to customization over the course of 270 pages. To introduce the author, he is a big data evangelist with almost a decade of practical experience working with Big Data<\/strong> environments.<\/span><\/p>\n

The book \u201cBeginning Apache Pig \u201d covers everything from MapReduce<\/strong> to the more customized features of Pig. <\/strong><\/span>Even it will help you to write your own Pig code using Pig Latin, the default language for Pig development.\u00a0<\/span>In addition, it is a brilliant book for Novice learners. \u00a0Also, it is a fun read from cover to cover.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

2. Programming Pig<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"Programming<\/a>by Alan Gates & Daniel Dai<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

The book \u201c Programming Pig\u201d is the most detailed book on Pig in the market. For complete beginners or intermediate users, \u00a0who want to advance their skillset, this is a perfect book.<\/span><\/p>\n

This book contains 350 pages of Pig development tips & techniques. It is the most comprehensive guide to building Pig apps with the Pig Latin<\/strong> programming language.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition, it teaches, how to write properly structured Pig code, how to connect into databases, and how to write your own User-Defined Functions to expand the capabilities of Pig. Here, using both theory and hands-on approach, each chapter covers different techniques.\u00a0<\/span>So, as my suggestion, beginners should have no trouble picking up this book and following it through to completion.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

3. Pig Design Patterns<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"Pig<\/a>by Pradeep Pasupuleti<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

To understand the basics of Pig in practice, you can choose this book. Basically, to create lightning-fast apps, the difficult part is mastering Pig development that is easy to edit & simple to maintain.<\/span><\/p>\n

This book includes all the top Pig development features that professionals use on a day-to-day basis. There are 300 pages with 7 large chapters on data transformations, validations, and data reduction patterns with Pig.\u00a0<\/span>However, this book may be fairly simple or somewhat confusing, depending on your level of expertise.\u00a0<\/span>Make sure that you have a good understanding of Hadoop and a basic understanding of Pig while learning through this book. <\/span><\/p>\n

This book is worth buying just for the Pig source code. Here, every recipe has its own step-by-step approach so they all work like mini tutorials. In addition, it teaches you how to connect to different databases, how to connect with an AWS instance, and so much more.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, this was all in Apache Pig Books. Hope you like our explanation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Summary<\/span><\/h2>\n

Hence, in this article, we have covered Top 3 Apache Pig Books. However, we agree, this is a small list, but the ones listed here are definitely beneficial.\u00a0<\/span>We would like to suggest, novice users should start with a copy of programming Pig<\/strong> to get a solid grasp on the technology because it is the most in-depth book on this subject. <\/span><\/p>\n

Although, we would also recommend Beginning Apache Pig because it is something a little simpler. However, it includes much of the same material but it holds your hand more throughout the process.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Further, to start building your own projects you can select Pig Design Patterns. It includes all the best practices for structuring and scaling your own Pig-supported applications.<\/span><\/p>\n

Also, make sure, no good book reveals its secrets all at once. So, keep reading, keep learning. Share your feedback with us.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
