I was at Mashup Camp this week and one of the guys from IBM pointed me at a library called Flare (http://flare.prefuse.org/ http://flare.prefuse.org/) which has a number of prefabricated visualizations you can run on data.

Pipes or IBM's Mashup Hub to combine data in new and interesting ways and then throw it at a the visualization library to see what representation fit the output. I think this would be absolutely applicable to processing data with Hadoop/Pig. By trying a number of standard displays to represent data it would be easy for non-technical folks to find new and interesting trends.
