'''Sawzall''' is a procedural [[Domain specific language | ___domain-specific programming language]], used by [[Google]] to process large numbers of individual log records. Sawzall was first described in 2003,<ref>Rob Pike, Sean Dorward, Robert Griesemer, Sean Quinlan. [http://labsstatic.googleusercontent.com/external_content/untrusted_dlcp/research.google.com/paperssv//archive/sawzall-sciprog.pdf Interpreting the Data: Parallel Analysis with Sawzall]</ref> and the szl runtime was open-sourced in August 2010.<ref> http://code.google.com/p/szl/ Sawzall's open source project at Google Code.</ref> However, since the [[MapReduce]] table aggregators have not been released, the open-sourced runtime is not useful for large-scale data analysis off-the-shelf.
