    Chose Apache Hive
    Hive was one of the first SQL on Hadoop technologies, and it comes bundled with the main Hadoop distributions of HDP and CDH. Since its release, it has gained good improvements, but selecting the right SQL on Hadoop technology requires a good understanding of the strengths and …

    I used Impala when it was still in the bud stage. Apache hive has been very convenient from the very beginning.

    For reliability and ease of use mySql is better. When the data volume gets larger Hadoop is a faster and more reliable option.

    Chose MySQL
    MySQL is good solution when data is not very large and frequent update is required. It also provides automatic deduplication of data, which is not available in Hive.

    Software work execution is on a large scale, it is good to use for new projects or organizational changes, data lineage mapping has always been dubious but this one has had good results. You can store and synchronize data from different departments, the storage process can be manual but it is best automated.

    MySQL is best suited for applications on platform like high-traffic content-driven websites, small-scale web apps, data warehouses which regards light analytical workloads. However its less suited for areas like enterprise data warehouse, OLAP cubes, large-scale reporting, applications requiring flexible or semi-structured data like event logging systems, product configurations, dynamic forms.

    Pros
    Apache
    • Apache Hive allows use to write expressive solutions to complex problems thanks to its SQL-like syntax.
    • Relatively easy to set up and start using.
    • Very little ramp-up to start using the actual product, documentation is very thorough, there is an active community, and the code base is constantly being improved.

    • Stable - it just runs, with minimal downtime or errors
    • Fast - well-structured data is quickly written and read
    • Secure - MySQL is easy to keep data secure from people and applications that shouldn't see it
    • Easy to use - SQL is industry standard so no problems with adding, editing and reading data stored in MySQL

    Cons
    Apache
    • Some queries, particularly complex joins, are still quite slow and can take hours
    • Previous jobs and queries are not stored sometimes
    • Switching to Impala can sometimes be time-consuming (i.e. the system hangs, or is slow to respond).
    • Sometimes, directories and tables don't load properly which causes confusion

    • Learning curve: is big. Newbies will face problems in understanding the platform initially. However, with plenty of online resources, one can easily find solutions to problems and learn on the go.
    • Backup and restore: MySQL is not very seamless. Although the data is never ruptured or missed, the process involved is not very much user-friendly. Maybe, a new command-line interface for only the backup-restore functionality shall be set up again to make this very important step much easier to perform and maintain.

    For teaching Databases and SQL, I would definitely continue to use MySQL. It provides a good, solid foundation to learn about databases. Also to learn about the SQL language and how it works with the creation, insertion, deletion, updating, and manipulation of data, tables, and databases. This SQL language is a foundation and can be used to learn many other database related concepts.

    Hive is a very good big data analysis and ad-hoc query platform, which supports scaling also. The BI processes can be easily integrated with Hadoop via the Hive. It can deal with a much larger data set that traditional RDBMS can not. It is a "must-have" component of the big data domain.

    I give MySQL a 9/10 overall because I really like it but I feel like there are a lot of tech people who would hate it if I gave it a 10/10. I've never had any problems with it or reached any of its limitations but I know a few people who have so I can't give it a 10/10 based on those complaints.

    Apache Hive is a FOSS project and its open source. We need not definitely comment on anything about the support of open source and its developer community. But, it has got tremendous developer support, awesome documentation. I would justify the fact that much support can be gathered from the community backup.

    We have never contacted MySQL enterprise support team for any issues related to MySQL. This is because we have been using primarily the MySQL Server community edition and have been using the MySQL support forums for any questions and practical guidance that we needed before and during the technical implementations. Overall, the support community has been very helpful and allowed us to make the most out of the community edition.

    Besides Hive, I have used Google BigQuery, which is costly but have very high computation speed. Amazon Redshift is the another product, I used in my recent organisation. Both Redshift and BigQuery are managed solution whereas Hive needs to be managed

    MongoDB has a dynamic schema for how data is stored in 'documents' whereas MySQL is more structured with tables, columns, and rows. MongoDB was built for high availability whereas MySQL can be a challenge when it comes to replication of the data and making everything redundant in the event of a DR or outage.

    • Apache hive is secured and scalable solution that helps in increasing the overall organization productivity.
    • Apache hive can handle and process large amount of data in a sufficient time manner.
    • It simplifies writing SQL queries, hence helping the organization as most companies use SQL for all query jobs.

    • As it is an open source solution through community solution, we can use it in a multitude of projects without cost license
    • The acquisition by Oracle makes you need to contract support for the enterprise version
    • If you have knowledge about oracle databases, you can get more out of the enterprise version
