Question - What are the different components of a Hive architecture?
Answer -
The different components of the Hive are:
- User Interface: This calls the execute interface to the driver and creates a session for the query. Then, it sends the query to the compiler to generate an execution plan for it
- Metastore: This stores the metadata information and sends it to the compiler for the execution of a query
- Compiler: This generates the execution plan. It has a DAG of stages, where each stage is either a metadata operation, a map, or reduces a job or operation on HDFS
- Execution Engine: This acts as a bridge between the Hive and Hadoop to process the query. Execution Engine communicates bidirectionally with Metastore to perform operations, such as create or drop tables.
