What are the different ways of executing pig scripts

Question

I am just confused on this, can you please help me with the different types of execution methods for executing pig scripts.

Answer 1

There are three ways to execute the Pig script:

• Grunt Shell: This is Pig’s interactive shell provided to execute all Pig Scripts.
• Script File: Write all the Pig commands in a script file and execute the Pig script file. This is executed by the Pig Server.
• Embedded Script: If some functions are unavailable in built-in operators, we can programmatically create User Defined Functions (UDF) to bring that functionality using other languages like Java, Python, Ruby, etc. and embed it in the Pig Latin Script file. Then, execute that script file.
