Apache Pig is a platform for analyzing large data sets that consists of
a high-level language for expressing data analysis programs, coupled
with infrastructure for evaluating these programs. In addition, it
provides for extensibility by way of User Defined Functions. There are
some third-party libraries for Pig geared for use by Data Scientists.

In this talk, I will explore how to integrate popular libraries with Apache Pig to provide a robust environment to do data science. I will explore gaps and potential improvements that can be had based on our experience using Pig as a tool for data science.  In particular, we will focus the role of Pig as a data aggregation tool as well as a platform to evaluate machine learning models at scale.
