Pig Design Patterns

Acknowledgments

Writing a technical book takes an unpredictable amount of sacrifice every single day. I sincerely believe that nobody could ever complete writing a book alone without the willing sacrifices of family, friends, and coworkers. It is an honor to give credit where credit is due. I am truly blessed to have been in the company of some of the consistently bright people in the world while working on this book.

I owe a deep sense of gratitude to my parents, Prabhakar and Sumathy, who have constantly guided, encouraged, and blessed me; I am sure mere words can never express the magnitude of my gratitude to them. On the home front, I gave up more time with my wife, Sushma, and sons, Sresht and Samvruth, than I'm proud to admit. Thanks most ...
