Cascalog is a Clojure/Java data processing and querying library built on Hadoop, offering a high-level Datalog-like abstraction as a replacement for Pig, Hive, and Cascading. It also supports local in-memory analysis from the REPL.

Use cases

  • run big data queries on hadoop without writing mapreduce
  • replace pig or hive with a clojure dsl
  • analyze datasets locally from the repl
  • process large log data with clojure
  • write declarative data pipelines in java

When to choose

  • you're on the JVM and want a high-level query language over Hadoop
  • you prefer Clojure REPL-driven data analysis

When to avoid

  • starting a new project — modern alternatives like Spark or trino are actively maintained
  • you need non-Hadoop distributed execution
