Can pig scripts be run as part of cascading flow

[Amit Anand]

Can I execute a pig script from my cascading flow as I have a
requirement of joining data from two files in different format based
on common key which I believe doing in cascading will be difficult. So
I was thinking of using pig script to do the same as part of my
cascading flow

Please suggest

What are the differences in format and how do you plan on joining them?

With Cascading you can coerce values from one type to another (for example from String to Integer) with the Coerce assembly:

Joins are of two data streams are done in Cascading using a CoGroup pipe. It's really quite easy to do. Look at http://docs.cascading.org/cascading/2.0/userguide/html/ch03s03.html#N2061A
