7 Interview questions

A Software Engineer was asked
Q. What are the different types of tables in Hive?
Ans. 

Hive tables are used to store structured data in Hive, similar to tables in a traditional database.

  • Hive tables are created using the CREATE TABLE statement.

  • Tables can be partitioned based on one or more columns.

  • External tables in Hive store data outside of the default location in HDFS.

  • Managed tables store data in the default location in HDFS.

  • Tables can be queried using SQL-like syntax in HiveQL.

A Software Engineer was asked
Q. What is the difference between bucketing and partitioning in Hive?
Ans. 

Bucketing is a way of organizing data files into multiple files based on a hash function, while partitioning is dividing data into different directories based on the column values.

  • Bucketing is used for evenly distributing data across files for better query performance.

  • Partitioning is used for organizing data based on specific column values for easier data retrieval.

  • Example: Bucketing can be used to evenly distribu...
