Apache Hive Deep Dive – Load Data from Local File System

Welcome to the first post of the series called “Apache Hive Deep Dive”. In this post we are going to explore what happens behind the scenes in HDFS when we issue the following commands in Hive:

1. CREATE DATABASE
2. CREATE TABLE
3. LOAD DATA
4. DROP TABLE
5. DROP DATABASE

In this exercise, the data will be loaded from the local file system to Hive. In the next post, we will be loading the data from HDFS to Hive.

You can download the files and commands used in the tutorial from the GitHub repository.

Feel free to download the Google Slides as well.
