title: Using Hive with Pig
body: <p>My hive query has multiple outer joins and takes very long to execute. I was wondering if it would make sense to break it into multiple smaller queries and use pig to work the transformations. </p>
  
  <p>Is there a way I could query hive tables or read hive table data within a pig script? </p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
