Pig vs BlazingSQL: What are the differences?
What is Pig? Platform for analyzing large data sets. Pig is a dataflow programming environment for processing very large files. Pig's language is called Pig Latin. A Pig Latin program consists of a directed acyclic graph where each node represents an operation that transforms data Operations are of two flavors: (1) relational-algebra style operations such as join, filter, project; (2) functional-programming style operators such as map, reduce. .
What is BlazingSQL? A lightweight, GPU accelerated, SQL engine built on RAPIDS. It's a GPU accelerated SQL engine built on top of the RAPIDS ecosystem. RAPIDS is based on the Apache Arrow columnar memory format, and cuDF is a GPU DataFrame library for loading, joining, aggregating, filtering, and otherwise manipulating data.
Pig and BlazingSQL belong to "Big Data Tools" category of the tech stack.
Pig is an open source tool with 580 GitHub stars and 448 GitHub forks. Here's a link to Pig's open source repository on GitHub.
