Detailed Description
The Apache Hive data warehouse software facilitates querying and managing large datasets residing in distributed storage. Apache Hive provides a mechanism to project structure onto this data and query the data using a SQL-like language called HiveQL.
Benefit to Fedora
Apache Hive is a data warehouse used by many parts of the Hadoop ecosystem. Including it in Fedora increases usefulness of the Apache Hadoop package that is already in Fedora.
Scope
- Proposal owners: The Hive package has been accepted into Fedora and provides all the functionality from the upstream release with the exception of HBase support since the latest stable versions are not currently aligned.
