  == Before you start ==
  
- Make sure you [BuildPig] (or download it) and then [RunPig].  [RunPig] will help you check your configuration and run a silly little task. Then come back here to learn how to use pig.

  == Data formats and models: ==
  
   * Pig can process data of any format. (Pigs eat anything! .. or is that goats?) A few common formats such as tab delimited text files, are supported via built-in capabilities. A user can add support for a file format by writing a function that parses the bytes of a file into objects in Pig's data model, and vice versa.
