Mortar is a platform-as-a-service for Hadoop. With Mortar, you can run jobs on Hadoop using Apache Pig and Python without any special training. You create your project using the Mortar command-line tool, deploy code using the Git revision control system, and Mortar does the rest.
This is an example Mortar project using the publicly-available Million Song Dataset.
It has two pigscripts that you can use and customize:
top_density_songs: Find the songs with the most beats per second in the 1MM song dataset. Code to REALLY FAST music.hottest_song_of_the_decade: Figure out which song was the hottest in every decade
If you add more interesting pigscripts, please send us a pull request!
