Question on the state of pig

How stable and functional is pig at present? Is it stable to use with 
hadoop?

Pig is being used today with Hadoop inside Yahoo for quite a few real  
applications, by dozens of early adopters, and the list is growing  
rapidly. That said, some important functionality is still being  
added, including type checking and compatibility with non-java  
executables, both of which are slated to go into pig by the end of  
March. We expect the pace of adoption to accelerate at that point.

Cheers,

Chris
