KEYW Releases Data Analytics Development Tool, Hog, to the Open Source Community
September 14 2016 - 5:23PM
The KEYW Holding Corporation (Nasdaq:KEYW), today
announced the release of Hog, an integrated development environment
(IDE), to the open source community. Hog builds on a recognized big
data and cyber analytics staple, Apache Pig, to provide an
environment where both analysts with minimal or no coding
abilities—and experienced script developers can efficiently perform
queries on large sets of data. Watch a brief video clip on the
application.
Hog provides a drag-and-drop interface that allows
analysts to directly interact with large data sets without needing
to fully understand Pig development or coding—and an interface
where experienced developers can leverage added features of Hog
using the traditional Pig scripts. Regardless of skill level, Hog
is an end-to-end solution for effectively analyzing large data
sets.
“Hog’s capability to offer both simple and complex
pages bridges the knowledge gap between analysts and developers,
while also helping to improve overall efficiencies,” said Bruce
Potter, KEYW’s chief technology officer. “KEYW leverages open
source on a regular basis when developing solutions for our
customers, and this release provides a great opportunity for us to
give back.”
Key Features of Hog:
- Simple Page Option – For users with no coding
experience to select the desired data analytics functions and
script modifications using a drag-and–drop interface.
- Complex Page Option – For the
experienced Pig script developers to write Pig scripts in a
traditional development environment while benefiting from the added
Hog features.
- Transition from Simple to Complex Page –
Allows experienced and non-experienced users to work together using
both the simple and complex interfaces.
- Graphs Data Results – Users can view results
in graphic or table form to quickly identify trends and
spikes.
- List – Displays every script created in Hog
and allows viewing, editing or deleting as needed.
- Autocomplete, Syntax Colorization and
Versioning – Users in the complex page area can use
autocomplete and syntax colorization for usability and versioning
to return to any version of the script at any point.
AvailabilityHog is designed as a
Node.JS-powered website which can be deployed almost anywhere, and
uses the locally-installed instance of Pig. Hog is available on
GitHub.
