The Others: The Hadoop Ecosystem is made up of several languages that facilitate and simplify the programming of the Map-reduce paradigm. The chief among these are Pig, Hive, JAQL and Zookeeper.
Conclusion: It is a foregone conclusion that Big Data and Hadoop will take center stage in the not too distant future given the explosion of data and the dire need of being able to glean useful business insights from them. Big Data and its algorithms provide the way for identifying useful pearls of wisdom from otherwise useless data. Big Data is bound to become mission critical in the enterprises of the future
