  I just popped in to say that I'm tired of the "X is dead" linkbait headlines. They demonstrate a myopic view of the world. Visual Basic and COBOL are still around.

  I'm wondering what's the need for this when we already have Apache Pig, etc?

  So it sounds like this slots in like so, in order of abstraction:

  HIVE -> Pig -> Pangool -> Cascading -> MapReduce

  Nice addition!
