Deploying Hive on a Hadoop cluster
Hive is supported by a wide variety of platforms. GNU/Linux and Windows are commonly used as the production environment, whereas Mac OS X is commonly used as the development environment.
Getting ready
In this book, we will assume a GNU/Linux-based installation of Apache Hive for installation and other instructions.
Before installing Hive, the first step is to make sure that a Java SE environment is installed properly. Hive requires version 6 or later, which can be downloaded from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html.
How to do it...
To install Hive, just download it from http://Hive.apache.org/downloads.html and unpack it. Choose the latest stable version.
