我的背景——在Hadoop世界工作了4周。使用Cloudera的Hadoop VM对Hive, Pig和Hadoop进行了一些尝试。已阅读谷歌关于Map-Reduce和GFS的论文(PDF链接)。
我明白——
猪的语言猪的拉丁语是一种转变 来自(适合程序员的思维方式) SQL喜欢声明式的 编程和Hive的查询语言密切相关 类似于SQL。 Pig位于Hadoop之上 原则也可以凌驾于之上 德律阿得斯。我可能错了，但蜂巢错了 与Hadoop紧密耦合。 都是Pig Latin和Hive命令 编译映射和减少作业。
我的问题是——当一个(比如猪)可以达到目的时，拥有两者的目标是什么?难道只是因为雅虎宣传了Pig !和Facebook的Hive ?

简单来说，Pig是一个高级平台，用于创建与Hadoop一起使用的MapReduce程序，使用Pig脚本我们将把大量数据处理成所需的格式。
一旦得到处理后的数据，这些处理后的数据就会保存在HDFS中，以便后续处理以获得所需的结果。
在存储的处理数据之上，我们将应用HIVE SQL命令来获得所需的结果，在内部这个HIVE SQL命令运行MAP Reduce程序。

给出了所有的方面。如果你不知道该选择哪个，那么你必须看看那个网页。
当我们在使用Hadoop时，从某种意义上说，这意味着我们正在尝试大量的数据处理，数据处理的最终目标将是从中生成内容/报告。
所以它内部由两个主要活动组成:
1)加载数据处理
2)生成内容并用于报告等。
加载/数据处理->猪将是有帮助的。
这有助于ETL(我们可以使用pig脚本执行ETL操作)。
一旦处理了结果，我们可以使用hive根据处理的结果生成报告。
Hive:它构建在hdfs之上，用于仓库处理。
我们可以很容易地使用hive从pig生成的经过处理的内容生成adhoc报告。
猪什么都吃!这意味着它可以使用非结构化数据。
Hive需要一个模式。
Pig-latin is data flow style, is more suitable for software engineer. While sql is more suitable for analytics person who are get used to sql. For complex task, for hive you have to manually to create temporary table to store intermediate data, but it is not necessary for pig. Pig-latin is suitable for complicated data structure( like small graph). There's a data structure in pig called DataBag which is a collection of Tuple. Sometimes you need to calculate metrics which involve multiple tuples ( there's a hidden link between tuples, in this case I would call it graph). In this case, it is very easy to write a UDF to calculate the metrics which involve multiple tuples. Of course it could be done in hive, but it is not so convenient as it is in pig. Writing UDF in pig much is easier than in Hive in my opinion. Pig has no metadata support, (or it is optional, in future it may integrate hcatalog). Hive has tables' metadata stored in database. You can debug pig script in local environment, but it would be hard for hive to do that. The reason is point 3. You need to set up hive metadata in your local environment, very time consuming.

Hive在分区、服务器、Web接口和JDBC/ODBC支持方面优于PIG。
一些差异:
Hive is best for structured Data & PIG is best for semi structured data Hive is used for reporting & PIG for programming Hive is used as a declarative SQL & PIG as a procedural language Hive supports partitions & PIG does not Hive can start an optional thrift based server & PIG cannot Hive defines tables beforehand (schema) + stores schema information in a database & PIG doesn't have a dedicated metadata of database Hive does not support Avro but PIG does. EDIT: Hive supports Avro, specify the serde as org.apache.hadoop.hive.serde2.avro Pig also supports additional COGROUP feature for performing outer joins but hive does not. But both Hive & PIG can join, order & sort dynamically.
