What is Hive?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ans. Hive is a tool to process structured data in Hadoop. We also call a data warehouse infrastructure. Moreover, to summarize Big Data, it resides on top of Hadoop. Also, makes querying and analyzing easy.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, the Apache Software Foundation took it up, but initially, Hive was developed by Facebook.<\/span> Further Apache Software Foundation developed it as an open source under the name Apache Hive. Although, many different companies use it. Like, Amazon uses it in Amazon Elastic MapReduce.<span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>Que 2. <\/b><b>How to optimize Hive Performance?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ans. There are several types of Query Optimization Techniques we can use in Hive in order to Optimize Hive Performance. Such as:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Tez-Execution Engine in Hive<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Usage of Suitable File Format in Hive<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Hive Partitioning <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Bucketing in Hive<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Vectorization In Hive<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Cost-Based Optimization in Hive (CBO)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Hive Indexing<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><b>Que 3. How can client interact with Hive?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ans. However, there are 3 ways possible in which a \u00a0Client can interact with the Hive. Such as:-<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif\">i. Hive Thrift Client:<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Basically, \u00a0with any programming language that supports thrift, we can interact with HIVE.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif\">ii. JDBC Driver:<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> However, to connect to the HIVE Server the BeeLine CLI uses JDBC Driver.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>iii. ODBC Driver:<\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Also, we can use an ODBC Driver application. Since that support ODBC to connect to the HIVE server.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Que 4. Can we change the data type of a column in a hive table?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ans. By using REPLACE column option we change the data type of a column in a hive table<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">ALTER TABLE table_name REPLACE COLUMNS \u2026\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Que 5. How to add the partition in existing table without the partition table?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ans. Basically, we cannot add\/create the partition in the existing table, especially which was not partitioned while creation of the table.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Although, there is one possible way, using &#8220;PARTITIONED BY&#8221; clause. But the condition is if you had partitioned the existing table, then by using the ALTER TABLE command, you will be allowed to add the partition.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">So, here are the create and alter commands:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">CREATE TABLE tab02 (foo INT, bar STRING) PARTITIONED BY (mon STRING);<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">ALTER TABLE tab02 ADD PARTITION (mon =&#8217;10&#8217;) location &#8216;\/home\/hdadmin\/hive-0.13.1-cdh5.3.2\/examples\/files\/kv5.txt&#8217;;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Que 6. How Hive organize the data?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ans. Basically, there are 3 ways possible in which Hive organizes data. Such as:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Tables<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Partitions<\/span><\/li>\n<li>Buckets<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><b>Que 7. Explain Clustering in Hive?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ans. Basically, \u00a0to decompose table data sets into more manageable parts is Clustering in Hive<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To be more specific, the table is divided into the number of partitions, and these partitions can be further subdivided into more manageable parts known as Buckets\/Clusters. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In addition, &#8220;clustered by&#8221; clause is used to divide the table into buckets.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Que 8. Explain bucketing in Hive?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ans. To decompose table data sets into more manageable parts, Apache Hive offers another technique. That technique is what we call Bucketing in Hive<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Que 9. How is HCatalog different from Hive?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ans. So, let&#8217;s learn the difference.<\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Hcatalog-<\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Basically, it is a table storage management tool for Hadoop. Basically, that exposes the tabular data of Hive Metastore to other Hadoop applications. Also, it enables users with different data processing tools to easily write data onto a grid. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Moreover, it ensures that users don\u2019t have to worry about where or in what format their data is stored.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Hive-<\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Whereas, Hive is an open source data warehouse. Also, we use it for analysis and querying datasets. Moreover, it is developed on top of Hadoop as its data warehouse framework for querying and analysis of data is stored in HDFS.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In addition, it is useful for performing several operations. Such as data encapsulation, ad-hoc queries, &amp; analysis of huge datasets. Moreover, for managing and querying structured data Hive\u2019s design reflects its targeted use as a system.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Que 10. What is the difference between CREATE TABLE AND CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ans. Although, we can create two types of tables in Hive. Such as:<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8211; \u00a0Internal Table <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8211; \u00a0External Table<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hence, to create the Internal table we use the command &#8216;CREATE TABLE&#8217; whereas to create the External table we use the command &#8216;CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE&#8217;.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Hive Interview Questions and Answers for Freshers &#8211; Q. 1,2,4,6,7,8,9,10<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Hive Interview Questions and Answers for Experience\u00a0&#8211; Q. 3,5<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><b>Que 11. Unable to instantiate org.apache.hadoop.hive.metastore.HiveMetaStoreClient<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ans. There is a possibility that because of \u00a0following reasons above error may occur:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> While we use derby metastore, Then lock file would be there in case of the abnormal exit. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hence, do remove the lock file<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">rm metastore_db\/*.lck<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Moreover, Run hive in Debug mode<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">hive -hiveconf hive.root.logger=DEBUG,console<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Que 12. How many types of Tables in Hive?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ans. Hive has two types of tables. Such as:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Managed table<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">External table<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Que 13. Explain Hive Thrift server?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ans. There is an optional component in Hive that we call as HiveServer or HiveThrift. Basically, that allows access to Hive over a single port. However, for scalable cross-language services development Thrift is a software framework. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Also, it allows clients using languages including Java, C++, Ruby, and many others, to programmatically access Hive remotely.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Que 14. How to Write a UDF function in Hive?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ans. Basically, following are the steps:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Create a Java class for the User Defined Function which extends ora.apache.hadoop.hive.sq.exec.UDF and implements more than one evaluate() methods. Put in your desired logic and you are almost there.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Package your Java class into a JAR file <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Go to Hive CLI, add your JAR, and verify your JARs is in the Hive CLI classpath<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">CREATE TEMPORARY FUNCTION in Hive which points to your Java class<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Then Use it in Hive SQL.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><b>Que 15. Differentiate between PigLatin and Hive<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ans. \u00a0Let\u2019s see feature wise difference between them:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif\">1. Language Used<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Apache Hive<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In Hive, there is a declarative language called HiveQL which is like SQL.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Apache Pig<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In Pig, there is a procedural language called Pig Latin.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Mainly Used for<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Apache Hive<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mainly, data analysts use Apache Hive.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Apache Pig<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mainly, researchers and programmers use Apache Pig.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Data<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Apache Hive<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Basically, Hive allows structured data.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Apache Pig<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, Apache Pig allows both structured and semi-structured data.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Operates on<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Apache Hive<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Basically, Hive component operates on a server side of the cluster.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Apache Pig<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, Pig server operates on the client side of the cluster.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Que 16. What is the difference between Internal Table and External Table in Hive?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ans. Hive Managed Tables-<\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It is also known an internal table. When we create a table in Hive, it by default manages the data. This means that Hive moves the data into its warehouse directory.<\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Usage:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We want Hive to completely manage the lifecycle of the data and table.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Data is temporary<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hive External Tables-<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We can also create an external table. It tells Hive to refer to the data that is at an existing location outside the warehouse directory.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Usage:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Data is used outside of Hive. For example, the data files are read and processed by an existing program that does not lock the files.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We are not creating a table based on the existing table.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Que 17. Difference between order by and sort by in Hive?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ans. So, the difference is:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Sort by<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">hive&gt; SELECT \u00a0E.EMP_ID FROM Employee E SORT BY E.empid;\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u00a0for final output, it may use multiple reducers.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> within a reducer only guarantees to order of rows.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">iii. it gives partially ordered result.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Order by<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">hive&gt; SELECT \u00a0E.EMP_ID FROM Employee E order BY E.empid;\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0Basically, to guarantee the total order in output Uses single reducer.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Also, to minimize sort time LIMIT can be used.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><b>Que 18. <\/b><b>What are different modes of metastore deployment in Hive?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ans. There are three modes for metastore deployment which Hive offers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif\">1. Embedded metastore<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Here, by using embedded Derby Database both metastore service and hive service runs in the same JVM.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif\">2. Local Metastore<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, here, Hive metastore service runs in the same process as the main Hive Server process, but the metastore database runs in a separate process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif\">3. Remote Metastore<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Here, metastore runs on its own separate JVM, not in the Hive service JVM.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Que 19. Difference between HBase vs Hive<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ans. Following points are feature wise comparison of HBase vs Hive.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>1.<span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif\">Database type<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Apache Hive<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Basically, Apache Hive is not a database.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>HBase<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">HBase does support NoSQL database.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Type of processing<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Apache Hive<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hive does support Batch processing. That is OLAP.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>HBase<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">HBase does support real-time data streaming. That is OLTP.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Data Schema<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Apache Hive<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Basically, it supports to have schema model<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>HBase<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, it is schema-free<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Que 20. What is the relation between MapReduce and Hive?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ans. Hive offers no capabilities to MapReduce. The Programs are executed as MapReduce Job via the interpreter. Then Interpreter runs on the Client machine. Afterward, that runs HiveQL Queries to MR jobs. Furthermore, Framework submits jobs to the cluster.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Hive Interview Questions and Answers for Freshers &#8211; Q. 12,13,14,15,16,19,20<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Hive Interview Questions and Answers for Experience\u00a0&#8211; Q. 11,17,18<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><b>Que 21. What is the importance of driver in Hive?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ans. Driver manages the life cycle of Hive QL Queries. It receives the queries from UI and fetches on JDBC interfaces to process the query. Also, it creates a separate section to handle the query.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Que 22. How can you configure remote metastore mode in Hive?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ans. To use this remote metastore, you should configure Hive service by setting hive.metastore.uris to the metastore server URI(s). Metastore server URIs are of the form thrift:\/\/host:port, where the port corresponds to the one set by METASTORE_PORT when starting the metastore server.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Que 23. Can we LOAD data into a view?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ans. No.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Que 24. What types of costs are associated with creating the index on hive tables?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ans. Basically, there is a processing cost in arranging the values of the column on which index is created since Indexes occupies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Que 25.
