    To query a huge, distributed dataset, Apache Hive was built by Facebook. Unlike Apache Hive, Apache Spark is an in-memory computation engine, which is why it is significantly quicker than Apache Hive at querying large amounts of data. In contrast to Apache HBase, Apache Hive is …

    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.

    Pros
    Apache
    • Apache Hive allows use to write expressive solutions to complex problems thanks to its SQL-like syntax.
    • Relatively easy to set up and start using.
    • Very little ramp-up to start using the actual product, documentation is very thorough, there is an active community, and the code base is constantly being improved.

    Cons
    Apache
    • 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

    Hive is a very good big data analysis and ad-hoc query platform, which supports scaling also. The BI processes can be easily integrated with Hadoop via the Hive. It can deal with a much larger data set that traditional RDBMS can not. It is a "must-have" component of the big data domain.

    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.
