Hive (data warehouse software)

Hive is a software tool used to manage and analyze large amounts of data stored in a distributed system, like a giant digital warehouse. It allows users to write queries—similar to asking questions in a language called SQL—to quickly find and organize information without needing to know complex programming. Hive converts these queries into instructions that run across many computers simultaneously, making it efficient to handle vast data sets. It’s commonly used by businesses to derive insights, generate reports, and support data-driven decisions from complex, big data collections.
