In this 7-video Skillsoft Aspire course, learners can explore optimizations allowing Apache Hive to handle parallel processing of data, while users can still contribute to improving query performance. For this course, learners should have previous experience with Hive and familiarity with querying big data for analysis purposes. The course focuses only on concepts; no queries are run. Learners begin to understand how to optimize query executions in Hive, beginning with exploring different options available in Hive to query data in an optimal manner. Discuss how to split data into smaller chunks, specifically, partitioning and bucketing, so that queries need not scan full data sets each time. Hive truly democratizes access to data stored in a Hadoop cluster, eliminating the need to know MapReduce to process cluster data, and makes data accessible using the Hive query language. All files in Hadoop are exposed in the form of tables. Watch demonstrations of structuring queries to reduce numbers of map reduce operations generated by Hive, and speeding up query executions. Other concepts covered include partitioning, bucketing, and joins.
