The document discusses tools for working with big data without needing to know Java. It states that Hadoop can be learned without Java through tools like Pig and Hive that provide high-level languages. Pig uses Pig Latin to simplify complex MapReduce programs, allowing data operations like filters, joins and sorting with only 10 lines of code compared to 200 lines of Java. Hive also does not require Java knowledge, defining a SQL-like language called HiveQL to query and analyze data. The document provides examples of how Pig and Hive can be used for tasks like predictive modeling without Java coding.
