"Hive Datawarehouse"
What do you like best about Hive?

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.

What do you dislike about Hive?

Higher latency is the drawback. Developments should be made to improve the latency of the complex queries.

What problems is Hive solving and how is that benefiting you?

Helping us to get business insights and reporting. Helping us to analyse the data and draw some conclusions to improve the business.

"Best Data Wharehouse tool for huge volume of structured data"
What do you like best about Hive?

Best thing about Hive is it alows us to write the code in sql for processing and managing the data. It allows us to partition and distribut the data among the cluster machines. We can also choose execution engine like spark, tez,mapredice while rinning in hive. If you your processing and analysing the bulk volume of batch data then hive is best.

What do you dislike about Hive?

It supports only structure data and we can't do updates too. Only supports OLAP.

What problems is Hive solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are managing our data warehouse for analytical purpose using hive. We used to partition and cluster the tables for better parallel processing and less shuffling so the processing will be optimised. We used to read the hive tables with spark too for better computation and speed.

"Great for complex data structures like arrays of strucs "
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

What do you dislike about Hive?

Session creation takes a while and speed is quite slow when comparing to Impala

What problems is Hive solving and how is that benefiting you?

Complex data analysis with tables that have several billion rows by partition

"Great map reduce SQL like engine"
What do you like best about Hive?

It is highly flexible in configurations. So many options to load data from- directly from linux file system or hdfs. You can create external and managed tables. One fun feature is that you can shoot bash commands from hive as well

What do you dislike about Hive?

It cannot be used for streaming data. Error logging can be improved so that error tracking and resolution can be more efficient.

What problems is Hive solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is used to transform and process Big Data datasets in batches. It can handle TBs of data. Push predicate feature has greatly improved the performance of the queries and the developer doesn't need to think about it anymore

"Hive review for its use in big data applications"
What do you like best about Hive?

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.

What do you dislike about Hive?

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

What problems is Hive solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are using hive mainly for saving our logs. it helps us to keep track of what records are inserted, which records have failed and what are relationship between them. we are using tableau for analyzing data .
