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.
