About This Course
Writing MapReduce programs to analyze your Big Data can get complex. Hive can help make querying your data much easier. Apache Hive, first created at Facebook, is a data warehouse system for Hadoop that facilitates easy data summarization, ad-hoc queries, and the analysis of large datasets stored in Hadoop compatible file systems. Hive provides a mechanism to project structure onto this data and query the data using a SQL-like language called HiveQL. This course will get you started so that you can use Hive for Data Warehousing tasks on your Big Data projects.
