What is Apache Hive?

Apache Hive serves as a data warehousing framework that empowers users to access, manipulate, and oversee large datasets spread across distributed systems using a SQL-like language. It facilitates the structuring of pre-existing data stored in various formats. Users have the option to interact with Hive through a command line interface or a JDBC driver. As a project under the auspices of the Apache Software Foundation, Apache Hive is continually supported by a group of dedicated volunteers. Originally integrated into the Apache® Hadoop® ecosystem, it has matured into a fully-fledged top-level project with its own identity. We encourage individuals to delve deeper into the project and contribute their expertise. To perform SQL operations on distributed datasets, conventional SQL queries must be run through the MapReduce Java API. However, Hive streamlines this task by providing a SQL abstraction, allowing users to execute queries in the form of HiveQL, thus eliminating the need for low-level Java API implementations. This results in a much more user-friendly and efficient experience for those accustomed to SQL, leading to greater productivity when dealing with vast amounts of data. Moreover, the adaptability of Hive makes it a valuable tool for a diverse range of data processing tasks.
