Hadoop What is it ?

A data warehouse for Hadoop Open source writen in Java Holds meta data in a relational database Allows SQL like queries Supports big data data sets Offers built in and user defined functions Has indexing

Hive Architecture
Where does Hive sit in the Hadoop architecture ?

Hive Architecture

Given an existing HDFS and Hadoop cluster Then add Hive and the meta data structure Use Flume and Sqoop to move data Use Hive LOAD DATA command to load from flat files Use ODBC for connectivity to your BI layer

Hive - DDL

Create table
hive> CREATE TABLE customer (age INT, address STRING);

Partitions
hive> CREATE TABLE customer (age INT, address STRING) PARTITIONED BY ( sdate STRING) ;

Show table
hive> SHOW TABLES ;

Describe table
hive> DESCRIBE customer;

Hive - DDL

Alter table
hive> ALTER TABLE customer ADD COLUMNS ( age INT) ;

Drop table
hive> DROP TABLE customer;

Hive - DML

Loading flat files into Hive

hive> LOAD DATA LOCAL INPATH './data/home/x1a.txt' OVERWRITE INTO TABLE customer;

No verification of incoming data

HiveQL Examples

HiveQL, an SQL like language

hive> SELECT a.age FROM customer a WHERE a.sdate ='2008-08-15';

selects all data from table for a partition but doesnt store it
hive> INSERT OVERWRITE DIRECTORY '/data/hdfs_file' SELECT a.* FROM customer a WHERE a.sdate='2008-08-15';

writes all of customer table to an hdfs directory

Hive Business Intelligence

Use ODBC to connect Hive to your BI layer Now you can use BI tools like Business Objects

Create a universe over the Hive instance Create reports against the universe Create add hoc queries against the universe
