What do you like best about Hive?

I was a top fan of Impala for a while until I reached a series of limitations that were impossible to overcome. I work a lot with arrays and just the fact of being able to use array_contains in impala made me switch to Hive. Also, we are moving fast on the direction of self made Macross for hive that let us do complex queries without lateral view explodes Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hive Overview

What is Hive?

Hive provides a mechanism to project structure onto this data and query the data using a SQL-like language called HiveQL. At the same time this language also allows traditional map/reduce programmers to plug in their custom mappers and reducers when it is inconvenient or inefficient to express this logic in HiveQL.

What do you like best about Hive?

It is easy to run query in hive as hive uses hql which is very similar to sql. Hive has hivemetastore service to save the metadata and hiveserver2 to serve the client requests so the segregation here helps in proper resource distribution. Hive is also fault tolerant which makes it ideal to run ETL long running batches Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hive?

Hive has a problem of cold start and since it used mapreduce algorithm at the backend, it is way slower than spark which made us move to spark from hive as the job completion time after switching to spark got reduced by 70-80% Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Hive?

Hive is a very valuable tool as it provides wrappers for data analysis and querying on Big data for organizations with huge amounts of data to be processed. It is built on top of Hadoop and makes SQL query building and storing quite convenient! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hive?

The biggest disadvantage of using Hive is that it does not provide or offer real-time queries and especially for row level updates as the latency is quite high in Hive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hive solves the problem of big data processing and analysis for me and my company. We are able to process and analyze huge amounts of data with the help of capabilities provided by Hive. It also allows parallel processing which makes it quite fast to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
