Apache Hive workshop

Apache Hive (https://hive.apache.org/) is a data warehouse software which facilitates managing and querying large datasets stored into distributed file systems, like HDFS.

During this workshop, we are gonna show you how Hive allows to define structures onto the data stored into HDFS and how to query it using a SQL-like language called HiveQL.

At the same time, HiveQL allows traditional map/reduce programmers to plug in their custom mappers and reducers when it is inconvenient or inefficient to express this logic in HiveQL.

We offer you cloud instances already running Apache Hive. All you need is a laptop with putty (http://www.putty.org/) and WinScp (http://winscp.net/eng/download.php) (for windows). For Linux, you need a command line and ssh client.

Because we want to handle better this workshop, we will limit the number of participants to 20.

Before beginning the workshop, we encourage you to socialize during tasting delicious pizza, juices and beers !!!
