Introduction


Firstly, let us understand what Apache Hive is. Apache Hive is a data warehousing infrastructure built on top of Hadoop that queries the data using SQL. The goal of Hive was to help existing SQL users quickly transition to Hadoop in dealing with structured data, without worrying about the complexities of the Hadoop framework.

In this chapter, we will configure the various methods of data ingestion. Most readers will be well acquainted with the databases and their usage. Databases are also an integral part of Hadoop, and play a very important role in storing, organizing, and retrieving data quickly.

Hadoop works with three types of database: NoSQL databases, such as HBase, warehousing solutions, such as Hive, and for storing metadata, it can use a traditional RDBMS, such as MySQL. In this chapter, we will cover the Hive warehouse and its modes of operation, along with other data ingestion tools, such as Flume, and workflow schedulers, such as Oozie.
