"Good data distribution"
What do you like best about Hive?

The data distribution and data processing in hive is very good in hive. DDL and DML functions in hive are better than conventional sql databases. Hive is better known for fault resistance.

What do you dislike about Hive?

The data output on hive is very slow. The data processing is very slow and the output is delayed due to this slow processing. Also the syntax is bit complex than conventional sql language.

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

Fault tolerance is very good feature which helps in data storing. Incase one database is lost, there isna backup created and this database can retrieved easily and intact.

"O Hive torna a consulta no HDFS muito mais fácil, mas não otimizada nem rápida o suficiente"
What do you like best about Hive?

Caso contrário, se você escrevê-lo como um SQL normal, pode levar horas para processar Mas é um pouco diferente do padrão SQL Pessoalmente falando, eu uso hive principalmente para ad hoc quires e relatórios é um software de armazenamento de dados que facilita a consulta e gerenciamento de grandes conjuntos de dados residindo em armazenamento distribuído

What do you dislike about Hive?

O ajuste de desempenho é difícil e torna-se difícil para consultas complexas, ele ainda tem alguns bugs, como todos os dados que vão para um único redutor, o que pode levar a retardar os resultados da consulta. -> Algumas das operações SQL não funcionam na colméia, como as associações de não igualdade, os dados não podem ser atualizados, mas teremos que reescrever

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

Estamos desenvolvendo o Hive Para pessoas que estão acostumadas a escrever consultas SQL, seria muito bom usar o Hive em cima do hadoop para arquivos armazenados no HDFS. Atividade do Dumping Site Dados de streaming de Big Data, bem como logs de dados no Hive Estamos desenvolvendo o Hive

"For all the batch operations!"
What do you like best about Hive?

The syntax of hive! Its almost SQL so its easy to use. External tables, partitions, buckets, UDFs all the features I like to use with hive. ORC data format occupying lesser space and retrieving the data much faster. Learning curve looks easier as it is similar to SQL but hold on! you must learn all the features of hive before writing a big hql to join multiple hundreds GBs tables and fetch results. Otherwise if you write it like a regular SQL it may take hours to process. So hive is always at its best when you set the optimization parameters before you run your scripts. Also its complex datatypes make hive more useful than other RDBMS.

What do you dislike about Hive?

Hive is comparatively slower than its competitors. Its easy to use but that comes with the cost of processing, If you are using it just for batch processing then hive is well and fine.

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

Generating datasets from huge files for reporting purposes.
