HiveQL

HiveQL is a query language designed for managing and analyzing large datasets stored in Hadoop, a system for processing big data. It allows users to write commands similar to SQL (Structured Query Language) to retrieve, filter, and summarize data without needing deep programming skills. Essentially, HiveQL acts as a bridge, making it easier to work with massive amounts of data by translating your queries into operations that Hadoop can process efficiently. It's widely used in data analysis and reporting, enabling organizations to gain insights from their big data stored across distributed systems.
