Shawn Hermans gave a presentation on using Pig and Python for big data analysis. He began with an introduction and background about himself. The presentation covered what big data is, challenges in working with large datasets, and how tools like MapReduce, Pig and Python can help address these challenges. As examples, he demonstrated using Pig to analyze US Census data and propagate satellite positions from Two Line Element sets. He also showed how to extend Pig with Python user defined functions.
