Top Rated Hive Alternatives
Hive is great for handling logs in big data projects. We are using the same in our project and it is great for using joins and grouping which is very difficult and tricky in map reduce. It has a lot of udf packages and it is very easy to add new udfs. We were also using bucketing and clustering to optimize the query. Concept of external tables and the way we can manipulate data even when table is deleted from hive is really amazing. Lot of connectors available in the market for different softwares.

The thing which I dislike is latency and the way it saves data. While inserting data I have to wait a lot of few records. Compiler execution plan is very immature as it does not do proper query optimization. Though the community is working fast for overcoming quickly but I think it will take time for hive to be Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its exhilarating how well it seamlessly connects work, through its group messaging that spurs collaboration, its flexible project layouts, customer insights and reviews that help in strategy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
One thing to note is that its heavy on consumption and it requires enough ram to slow some integrated apps down. That's an issue that needs solving. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hive is the best Datawarehouse and open source. Easy to use. It has a query language HiveQL. The syntax is same as SQL. So it is easy to write the hive queries and easy to get reports and business insights. Best Olfor analytics. And easily integrated with Spark, Hadoop and cloud also.

Higher latency is the drawback. Developments should be made to improve the latency of the complex queries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the most in Apache Hive supports partitioning and bucketing for fast data retrieval. We can create custom UDF as per the requirements to perform data cleansing and filtering. It supports HQL similar to SQL which gives easy for the people who comes from SQL background. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Doesn't support OLTP and also doesn't support delete or update actions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.
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.
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.
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.
