Embedding Pig for CDH4/MRv1 java apps fer realz.
After working with Hadoop more and more and wading through the dependency hell of each crazy component of Hadoop’s little documented ecosystem, I’ve come up with the following cheeky definition for HADOOP: “Huge Ass Dependency Orgy Of Poo”. Ok, it’s not really that bad, but if you’ve ever tried to embed Pig in your own Java program as hinted at here, you might run into some pitfalls like I did.
