New Sawzall implementation designed for interoperation with Hadoop MapReduce and DFS stack.

Following the open sourcing of Sawzall, a new open source implementation of the programming language is now available for download. Sizzle is designed for interoperation with Hadoop MapReduce and DFS stack, and programs produced by Sizzle can run anywhere a recent Hadoop is installed, even without Sizzle being installed, thanks to its complete runtime.

Sizzle 0.0 is compatible with the syntax described in the Sawzall paper.
