Apache Hive is a rapidly evolving project which continues to enjoy great adoption in the big data ecosystem. As Hive continues to grow its support for analytics, reporting, and interactive query, the community is hard at work in improving it along with many different dimensions and use cases. This talk will provide an overview of the latest and greatest features and optimizations which have landed in the project over the last year. Materialized views, the extension of ACID semantics to non-ORC data, and workload management are some noteworthy new features. We will discuss optimizations which provide major performance gains, including significantly improved performance for ACID tables. The talk will also provide a glimpse of what is expected to come in the near future.

management
• Results return
from HDFS/cache
directly
• Reduce load from
repetitive queries
• Allows more
queries to be run
in parallel
• Reduce resource
starvation in large
clusters
• Active/Passive HA
• More “tools” for
optimizer to use
• More ”tools” for
DBAs to
tune/optimize
• Invisible tuning of
DB from users’
perspective
• ACID v2 is as fast as
regular tables
• Hive 3 is optimized
for S3/WASB/GCP

New SQL Features

7. 7 © Hortonworks Inc. 2011–2018. All rights reserved
Transactional Read and Write
• Originally Hive supported write only by adding partitions or loading new files into
existing partitions
• Starting in version 0.13, Hive added transactions and INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE
• Supports
• Slow changing dimensions
• Correcting mis-loaded data
• GDPR's right to be forgotten
• Not OLTP!
• Drawbacks:
• Transactional tables had to be stored in ORC and had to be bucketed
• Reading transactional tables was significantly slower than non-transactional
• No support for MERGE or UPSERT functionality

8. 8 © Hortonworks Inc. 2011–2018. All rights reserved
ACID v2
• In 3.0 ACID storage has been reworked
• Performance penalty for ACID is now negligible even when compactor has not run
• With other optimizations ACID can result in speed up (more on this in the performance talk)
• Added MERGE support
• CDC can be regularly merged into a fact table with upsert functionality
• Removed restrictions:
• Tables no longer have to be bucketed
• Non-ORC based tables supported (INSERT & SELECT only)
• Still not OLTP!

9. 9 © Hortonworks Inc. 2011–2018. All rights reserved
Constraints & Defaults
• Helps optimizer to produce better plans
• BI tool integrations
• Data Integrity
• hive.constraint.notnull.enforce = true
• SQL compatibility & offload scenarios
Example:
CREATE TABLE Persons (
ID Int NOT NULL,
Name String NOT NULL,
Age Int,
Creator String DEFAULT CURRENT_USER(),
CreateDate Date DEFAULT CURRENT_DATE(),
PRIMARY KEY (ID) DISABLE NOVALIDATE
);
CREATE TABLE BusinessUnit (
ID Int NOT NULL,
Head Int NOT NULL,
Creator String DEFAULT CURRENT_USER(),
CreateDate Date DEFAULT CURRENT_DATE(),
PRIMARY KEY (ID) DISABLE NOVALIDATE,
CONSTRAINT fk FOREIGN KEY (Head)
REFERENCES Persons(ID) DISABLE
NOVALIDATE
);

10. 10 © Hortonworks Inc. 2011–2018. All rights reserved
Hive Native Replication
• REPL commands added to support replication
• Replication currently done at database level (all tables etc. in the db)
• Copies data together with metadata
• Master/slave on db level
• When first setup, existing data copied
• Then incremental replication - only copies changes
• Hive itself provides primitives for replication, not active daemons
• Used by Hortonworks Data Lifecycle Manager to provide High Availability and Disaster Recovery
• Replication can be between two clusters or between cluster and cloud

11. 11 © Hortonworks Inc. 2011–2018. All rights reserved
Plus More
• Materialized Views with refresh (more in the performance talk)
• Surrogate keys – default values, unique, not monotonically increasing
• SQL Standard Information Schema now supported
• Ranger can now enforce authorization policies for use of global non-builtin UDFs
• Support for TIMESTAMP WITH TIMEZONE data type
• In Hive 3 much work has been done to optimize Hive for object stores
• Hive uses its ACID system to determine which files to read rather than trust the storage
• Moves eliminated where ever possible
• More aggressive caching of file metadata and data to reduce file system operations
• Apache Parquet and text files now supported in LLAP

Workload Management

13. 13 © Hortonworks Inc. 2011–2018. All rights reserved
LLAP Workload Management
• Effectively share LLAP cluster resources
• Resource allocation per user policy; separate ETL and BI, etc.
• Resources based guardrails
• Protect against long running queries, high memory usage
• Improved, query-aware scheduling
• Scheduler is aware of query characteristics, types, etc.
• Fragments easy to pre-empt compared to containers
• Queries get guaranteed fractions of the cluster, but can use empty space

14. 14 © Hortonworks Inc. 2011–2018. All rights reserved
Guardrail Example
Common Triggers
● ELAPSED_TIME
● EXECUTION_TIME
● TOTAL_TASKS
● HDFS_BYTES_READ, HDFS_BYTES_WRITTEN
● CREATED FILES
● CREATED_DYNAMIC_PARTITIONS
Example
CREATE RESOURCE PLAN guardrail;
CREATE TRIGGER guardrail.long_running WHEN EXECUTION_TIME > 2000 DO KILL;
ALTER TRIGGER guardrail.long_running ADD TO UNMANAGED;
ALTER RESOURCE PLAN guardrail ENABLE ACTIVATE;

15. 15 © Hortonworks Inc. 2011–2018. All rights reserved
Resource Plans Example
CREATE RESOURCE PLAN daytime;
CREATE POOL daytime.bi WITH ALLOC_FRACTION=0.8, QUERY_PARALLELISM=5;
CREATE POOL daytime.etl WITH ALLOC_FRACTION=0.2, QUERY_PARALLELISM=20;
CREATE RULE downgrade IN daytime WHEN total_runtime > 3000 THEN MOVE etl;
ADD RULE downgrade TO bi;
CREATE APPLICATION MAPPING tableau in daytime TO bi;
ALTER PLAN daytime SET default pool= etl;
APPLY PLAN daytime;
daytime
bi: 80% etl: 20%
Downgrade when total_runtime>3000

box
Analyze
● Kafka metadata (key, partition,
offset, timestamp) as first
class columns.
● Time Traveling based on time
predicate.
● Seek to offset or partition
based on filter predicate.
Transform
● Join stream to stream
OR stream to table
● ACID offload data from
Kafka to Hive Exactly
once.

JDBC Connector
• How did we build the information_schema?
• We mapped the metastore into Hive’s table
space!
• Uses Hive-JDBC connector
• Read-only for now
• Supports automatic pushdown of full
subqueries
• Cost-based optimizer decides part of query runs
in RDBMS versus Hive
• Joins, aggregates, filters, projections, etc
