Overall Satisfaction with Apache Hive
As we all know that, Apache Hive sits on the top of Apache Hadoop and is basically used for data-related tasks - majorly at the higher abstraction level. I work as an Assitant Professor at NIE, Mysuru and I am a user of Apache Hive since the first time I taught Big Data Analytics as a PG Course to my students.
It was one of those technical sessions and I was supposed to demonstrate a word count program of a novel downloaded from the Project Gutenberg. I was successfully able to download the novel, load it into the Hadoop platform and execute a HiveQL (a SQL similar syntax used by Apache Hive) query to demonstrate for few unique words, their count, and related examples.

- The capability to handle large amounts of data and its querying process.
- A syntax similar to SQL is an added advantage.
- An active developer support and community always ready to help.
- Ease of usage.
- Resource consuming sometimes. May be that I was using a larger object file.
- Needs to add an update or a modify functionality. This has to be the minimilastic CRUD requirement.
- We did not face a ROI problem with Apache Hive - as its open source.
One of the major advantages of using Presto or the main reason why people use Presto (Teradata) is due to that fact it can support multiple data sources - which is lacking as in the case of Apache Hive. But still, most people who come from a Structured data-based background like the old days of Dbase, or the later ones of SQL databases like MS SQL, MySQL, PostgreSQL - may still opt to go with Apache Hive for its HiveQL ease and functionality.
