Study Notes

Introduction to Hive

  • Hive is data warehouse software for querying and managing large datasets in distributed storage systems like Hadoop.
  • It provides an SQL-like interface for easily summarizing, analyzing, and querying massive datasets stored in Hadoop's HDFS.
  • Developed at Facebook and released as an open-source project by Apache in 2010.
  • Continuously evolving with recent releases focusing on speed improvements (LLAP), modern tool integration, and transactional operations.
  • Fully compatible with Apache Hadoop.

Key Features

  • SQL-like queries: Uses HiveQL, an easy-to-learn SQL-like language.
  • Large dataset support: Handles petabytes of data effectively.
  • Hadoop integration: Converts Hive queries into MapReduce, Tez, or Spark jobs run on Hadoop clusters.
  • User-Defined Functions (UDFs): Allows custom scripts and functions to expand capabilities.
  • Partitioning and Bucketing: Supports partitioning large tables for faster queries and bucketing for optimized storage/processing.
  • Integration with data storage systems: Works with HDFS and HBase.

Data Units

  • Databases: Namespaces for tables.
  • Tables: Structured data storage similar to relational databases.
  • Partitions: Subsets of data within tables for efficient querying.
  • Buckets: Further divisions within partitions to optimize performance.

Hive Architecture

  • Hive Client: Where users submit HiveQL queries.
  • Driver: Compiles the query into execution plans (DAGs).
  • Metastore: Stores table and partition metadata.
  • Execution Engine: Converts HiveQL into MapReduce, Tez, or Spark jobs and executes them.

Hive Data Types

  • Primitive Data Types: Integers (INT, BIGINT), floating-point numbers (FLOAT, DOUBLE), strings (STRING, VARCHAR), booleans (BOOLEAN), etc.
  • Collection Data Types: Arrays, Maps, and Structs.

Hive File Formats

  • Text File: Plain text data.
  • Sequence File: Serialized key-value pairs.
  • RCFile: Columnar storage for improved read/write performance.

Hive Query Language (HiveQL)

  • Data Definition Language (DDL): CREATE, ALTER, DROP for tables, partitions, views, and databases.
  • Data Manipulation Language (DML): SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE.

Additional Features

  • Aggregation functions: SUM, COUNT, AVG, etc.
  • GROUP BY and HAVING: Group data and apply conditions
  • SerDe (Serializer/Deserializer): Framework for reading and writing from various file formats.
  • User-Defined Functions (UDFs): Extend Hive's functionality by writing custom functions in Java.
