------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Pig compiles these dataflow programs into (sequences of) map-reduce jobs and executes them using Hadoop. It is also possible to execute Pig Latin programs in a "local" mode (without Hadoop cluster), in which case all processing takes place in a single local JVM.
  
  == News ==
+ 
+ '''Pig is Getting Faster!'''  2-6 times faster, for many queries.  We've created a set of benchmarks and run them against the pig 0.1.0 release (modified to run on hadoop
+ 0.18) and against the code on the types branch (which will soon be merged into trunk and released as version 0.2.0).  Joins and order
+ bys in particular made large performance gains.  See PigMix for complete details.
  
  '''Pig Has Grown Up!'''. As of today (10/22/08) Pig has graduated from the [http://incubator.apache.org/ Incubator] and joined [http://hadoop.apache.org/ Hadoop] as a subproject. The actual transition will occur in the next couple of weeks.
