I was installing Apache pig's piggybank from this tutorial. While i was building source with ant , i observed its installing apache hive and hbase. Can anyone tell me why its doing so? Dose pig use hive and hbase?
Pig has HBase and Hive as dependencies because it has a HBase loader and a Hive loader that come with the standard distribution.
I wouldn't worry about them getting installed. They are just building the jars, not deploying anything.
