Apache Hive
Software work execution is on a large scale, it is good to use for new projects or organizational changes, data lineage mapping has always been dubious but this one has had good results. You can store and synchronize data from different departments, the storage process can be manual but it is best automated.

Percona Server for MySQL
Percona Server for MySQL covers 100% of our requirements in terms of our OLTP traffic and provides the High Availability levels required through a typical primary and 2 replica's using semi-synchronous replication. We're able to scale our writes using sharding, but a true distributed database would be a great option on top of this. In terms of OLAP traffic, we leverage columns stores available, but Percona Server fairs well

Cons
Apache Hive
- Some queries, particularly complex joins, are still quite slow and can take hours
- Previous jobs and queries are not stored sometimes
- Switching to Impala can sometimes be time-consuming (i.e. the system hangs, or is slow to respond).
- Sometimes, directories and tables don't load properly which causes confusion

Thanks to its high usability Apache Hive enables users to craft extensive queries really efficiently and at the same time to how to hold response times very low. HiveQL simplicity makes it super easy to manage large datasets, what was almost an impossible task before introduction of Apache Hive data warehousing platform in our company.

It is easy to install and use. Using it along with Percona Monitoring and Management makes it even easier to use.

Apache Hive is a FOSS project and its open source. We need not definitely comment on anything about the support of open source and its developer community. But, it has got tremendous developer support, awesome documentation. I would justify the fact that much support can be gathered from the community backup.

Alternatives Considered
Apache Hive
Apache Hives is a very effective tool. In contrast, we wanted our data warehouse to be the location for our file system data. We also wanted to avoid using Postgres. It's great for keeping track of logs when working on big data projects. It's very similar to SQL in how it works. Even though HQL has a limited command set, it can still be helpful. It provides a fantastic open-source MapReduce implementation.

Percona Server for MySQL
Performance and stability sets Percona Server for MySQL apart from the rest. Percona embraces the upstream version and contributes towards the upstream version making MySQL stronger on two fronts and thus having a much larger community. Many quality contributions have been made by Percona into the base code. Percona provides great tools to support Percona Server for MySQL and this makes the monitoring and management easier

- At the performance level, it maintains and even improves other open-source databases such as MariaDB or some commercial ones such as Oracle.
- If we compare it with MySQL, we could have up to 50% improvement in performance.
- For some small companies or startups, the price of the complete solution and the support can be a bit high.
