The Origins of Hive

·        Facebook uses Hadoop extensively 

·        Needed a way to allow non Java programmers access to the data in its Hadoop clusters 
        Data analysts, Statisticians, Data Scientists etc. 

·        Hive was developed to answer this need 
–   Language based on SQL 
–   Easy to learn, easy to use 
–   Immediately makes data on the cluster  
        Accessible to many more people 


·        Hive is now an open-source project  managed by the Apache Software Foundation
