Hadoop: Hive contekan SQL

SQL and HiveQL
Apache Hive is data warehouse infrastructure built on top of Apache Hadoop for providing data summarization, ad-hoc query, and analysis of large datasets. It provides a mechanism to project structure onto the data in Hadoop and to query that data using a SQL-like language called HiveQL (HQL).
Naturally, there are a bunch of differences between SQL and HiveQL, but on the other hand there are a lot of similarities too, and recent releases of Hive bring that SQL-92 compatibility closer still.
Below is some basic information to get you started. Of course, if you really want to get to grips with Hive, then take a look at the full language manual. SQL to HQL Cheat Sheet
Retrieving Information
Function 	MySQL 	Hive
Retrieving Information (General) 	SELECT from_columns FROM table WHERE conditions; 	SELECT from_columns FROM table WHERE conditions;
Retrieving All Values 	SELECT * FROM table; 	SELECT * FROM table;
Retrieving Some Values 	SELECT * FROM table WHERE rec_name = "value"; 	SELECT * FROM table WHERE rec_name = "value";
Retrieving With Multiple Criteria 	SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE rec1 = "value1" AND rec2 = "value2"; 	SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE rec1 = "value1" AND rec2 = "value2";
Retrieving Specific Columns 	SELECT column_name FROM table; 	SELECT column_name FROM table;
Retrieving Unique Output 	SELECT DISTINCT column_name FROM table; 	SELECT DISTINCT column_name FROM table;
Sorting 	SELECT col1, col2 FROM table ORDER BY col2; 	SELECT col1, col2 FROM table ORDER BY col2;
Sorting Reverse 	SELECT col1, col2 FROM table ORDER BY col2 DESC; 	SELECT col1, col2 FROM table ORDER BY col2 DESC;
Counting Rows 	SELECT COUNT(*) FROM table; 	SELECT COUNT(*) FROM table;
Grouping With Counting 	SELECT owner, COUNT(*) FROM table GROUP BY owner; 	SELECT owner, COUNT(*) FROM table GROUP BY owner;
Maximum Value 	SELECT MAX(col_name) AS label FROM table; 	SELECT MAX(col_name) AS label FROM table;
Selecting from multiple tables (Join same table using alias w/”AS”) 	SELECT pet.name, comment FROM pet, event WHERE pet.name = event.name; 	SELECT pet.name, comment FROM pet JOIN event ON (pet.name = event.name)
Metadata
Function 	MySQL 	Hive
Selecting a database 	USE database; 	USE database;
Listing databases 	SHOW DATABASES; 	SHOW DATABASES;
Listing tables in a database 	SHOW TABLES; 	SHOW TABLES;
Describing the format of a table 	DESCRIBE table; 	DESCRIBE (FORMATTED|EXTENDED) table;
Creating a database 	CREATE DATABASE db_name; 	CREATE DATABASE db_name;
Dropping a database 	DROP DATABASE db_name; 	DROP DATABASE db_name (CASCADE);
