Pig vs Vespa: What are the differences?
Developers describe Pig as "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. . On the other hand, Vespa is detailed as "Store, search, rank and organize big data". Vespa is an engine for low-latency computation over large data sets. It stores and indexes your data such that queries, selection and processing over the data can be performed at serving time.
