Questions and Answers

1.

Apache Pig is a high-level platform for creating programs that run on
- A.
  
  Apache Hadoop
- B.
  
  Apache Hive
- C.
  
  Java
- D.
  
  Python
Correct Answer
A. Apache Hadoop

Explanation
Apache Pig is a high-level platform for creating programs that run on Apache Hadoop. Hadoop is an open-source framework that allows for distributed processing and storage of large datasets across clusters of computers. Apache Pig provides a high-level language called Pig Latin, which simplifies the process of writing MapReduce programs on Hadoop. By using Pig, developers can write complex data transformations and analysis tasks more easily, without having to write low-level Java code. Therefore, the correct answer is Apache Hadoop.

2.

Pig can execute its Hadoop jobs on
- A.
  
  Sql
- B.
  
  Java
- C.
  
  MapReduce
- D.
  
  HTML
Correct Answer
C. MapReduce

Explanation
Pig can execute its Hadoop jobs on MapReduce. MapReduce is a programming model and software framework used for processing large amounts of data in parallel across a cluster of computers. Pig is a high-level data flow scripting language that allows developers to express their data transformations using a language called Pig Latin. Pig Latin scripts are then compiled into MapReduce jobs, which are executed on the Hadoop cluster. Therefore, MapReduce is the correct answer as it is the underlying framework used by Pig to execute its Hadoop jobs.

  Pig Latin
- D.
  
  Pig Greek
Correct Answer
C. Pig Latin

Explanation
The correct answer is Pig Latin. Pig Latin is a high-level scripting language used for analyzing large datasets in Apache Hadoop. It provides a simplified and expressive language for data manipulation and analysis. Pig Latin is designed to work with Pig, a platform for analyzing and processing big data. It allows users to write complex data transformations using a simple and intuitive syntax, making it easier to work with big data.
