Partitions, buckets, and skews facilitate faster, more direct access to data
Note on Buckets
§  It is hard to guess the right number of buckets that can also change overtime, hard to coordinate and align for joins
§  Community is working on dynamic bucketing that would have the same benefit without the need for static partitioning

Sample Table Registration
Select project database
USE
xyz;

Create table
CREATE
EXTERNAL
TABLE
search
(

bcookie
string

COMMENT
‘Standard
browser
cookie’,

time_stamp
int

COMMENT
‘DD-‐MON-‐YYYY
HH:MI:SS
(AM/PM)’,

uid
string

COMMENT
‘User
id’,

ip
string

COMMENT
‘...’,

pg_spaceid
string
COMMENT
‘...’,

...)

PARTITIONED
BY
(

locale
string

COMMENT
‘Country
of
origin’,

datestamp
string
COMMENT
‘Date
in
YYYYMMDD
format’)

STORED
AS
ORC

LOCATION
‘/projects/search/...’;

Add partitions manually, (if you choose to)
ALTER
TABLE
search
ADD
PARTITION
(
locale=‘US’,
datestamp=‘20130201’)

LOCATION
‘/projects/search/...’;

All your company’s data (metadata) can be registered with HCatalog irrespective of the
tool used.

Getting Data into HCatalog – DML and DDL
LOAD Files into tables
Load operations are copy/move operations from HDFS or local filesystem that move datafiles into locations
corresponding to HCat tables. File format must agree with the table format.
LOAD
DATA
[LOCAL]
INPATH
'filepath'
[OVERWRITE]
INTO
TABLE
tablename

[PARTITION
(partcol1=val1,
partcol2=val2
...)];

INSERT data from a query into tables
Query results can be inserted into tables of file system directories by using the insert clause.
INSERT
OVERWRITE
TABLE
tablename1
[PARTITION
(partcol1=val1,
partcol2=val2
...)
[IF
NOT
EXISTS]]

select_statement1
FROM
from_statement;

INSERT
INTO
TABLE
tablename1
[PARTITION
(partcol1=val1,
partcol2=val2
...)]
select_statement1
FROM

from_statement;

HCat also supports multiple inserts in the same statement or dynamic partition inserts.
ALTER TABLE ADD PARTITIONS
You can use ALTER TABLE ADD PARTITION to add partitions to a table. The location must be a directory
inside of which data files reside. If new partitions are directly added to HDFS, HCat will not be aware of
these.
ALTER
TABLE
table_name
ADD
PARTITION
(partCol
=
'value1')
location
'loc1’;

Getting Data into HCatalog – HCat APIs
Pig
HCatLoader is used with Pig scripts to read data from HCatalog-managed tables, and HCatStorer is used
with Pig scripts to write data to HCatalog-managed tables.

A
=
load
'$DB.$TABLE'
using
org.apache.hcatalog.pig.HCatLoader();

B
=
FILTER
A
BY
$FILTER;

C
=
foreach
B
generate
foo,
bar;

store
C
into
'$OUTPUT_DB.$OUTPUT_TABLE'
USING
org.apache.hcatalog.pig.HCatStorer

('$OUTPUT_PARTITION');

MapReduce
The HCatInputFormat is used with MapReduce jobs to read data from HCatalog-managed tables.
HCatOutputFormat is used with MapReduce jobs to write data to HCatalog-managed tables.
Map<String,
String>
partitionValues
=
new
HashMap<String,
String>();

partitionValues.put("a",
"1");

partitionValues.put("b",
"1");

HCatTableInfo
info
=
HCatTableInfo.getOutputTableInfo(dbName,
tblName,
partitionValues);

HCatOutputFormat.setOutput(job,
info);

Data Discovery with HCatalog
§  HCatalog instances become a unifying metastore for all data at
Yahoo
§  Discovery is about
o  Browsing / inspecting metadata
o  Searching for datasets
§  It helps to solve
o  Schema knowledge across the company
o  Schema evolution
o  Lineage
o  Ownerships
o  Data type – dev or prod

Data Discovery Design Approach
§  A single web interface connects to all HCatalog instances (same and
cross-colo)
§  Select an appropriate HCat instance and browse all metadata
o  Each HCatalog instance runs a webserver (Templeton/ WebHCat) to read
metadata
o  All reads audited
o  ACL’s apply
§  Search functionality will be added to Templeton and HCatalog
o  New Thrift interface to support search
o  All searches audited
o  ACL’s apply
§  Long term design
o  Read and Write HCatalog instances

Data Discovery Going Forward
§  Lineage
o  Source datasets
o  Derived datasets
§  Data Quality
o  Statistics help in heuristics instead of running a job

HCatalog is Part of a Broader Solution Set
Hive
HiveServer2
HCatalog
§  Data warehousing software that facilitates querying and managing large
datasets in HDFS
§  Provides a mechanism to project structure onto HDFS data and query the
data using a SQL-like language called HiveQL
§  Server process (Thrift-based RPC interface) to support concurrent clients
connecting over ODBC/JDBC
§  Provides authentication and enforces authorization for ODBC/JDBC clients
for metadata access
§  Table and storage management layer that enables users with different tools
(Pig, M/R, and Hive) to more easily share data
§  Presents a relational view of data in HDFS, abstracts where or in what
format data is stored, and enables notifications of data availability
Starling
§  Hadoop log warehouse for analytics on grid usage (job history, tasks, job
counters etc.)
§  1TB of raw logs processed / day, 24 TB of processed data

Hive for Both Batch and Interactive Adhoc Analytics
Tez
§  Computation expressed as a dataflow graph
with reusable primitives
§  No intermediate outputs to HDFS
§  Built on top of YARN
§  Hive generates Tez plans for lower latency
Query Engine Improvements
§  Cost-based optimizations
§  In-memory joins
§  Caching hot tables
§  Vectorized processing
Better Columnar Store
§  ORCFile with predicate pushdown
§  Built for both speed and storage efficiency
Tez Service
§  Always-on pool of AMs / container re-use
Improved Latency and Throughput
Analytics Functions
§  SQL 2003 Compliant
§  OVER with PARTITION BY and ORDER BY
§  Wide variety of windowing functions:
o  RANK
o  LEAD/LAG
o  ROW_NUMBER
o  FIRST_VALUE
o  LAST_VALUE
o  Many more
§  Aligns well with BI ecosystem
Improving SQL Coverage
§  Non-correlated sub-queries using IN in
WHERE
§  Expanded SQL types including DATETIME,
VARCHAR, etc.
Extended Analytical Ability

HiveServer2 as ODBC / JDBC Endpoint
§  Gateway that Hive clients
can talk to
§  Supports concurrent clients
§  User/ global session/
configuration information
§  Support for secure clusters
and encryption
§  DoAs support allows Hive
queries to run as the
requester

§  DataOut is an efficient
method of moving data off
the grid
§  Advantages:
o  API based on well-known
JDBC interface
o  Works with HCatalog / Hive
o  Agnostic to the underlying
storage format
o  Parts of the whole data can
be pulled in parallel

SQL-based Authorization for Controlled Access
§  SQL-compliant authorization model (Users, Roles, Privileges, Objects)
§  Fine-grain authorization and access control patterns (row and column in
conjunction with views)
§  Can be used in conjunction with storage-based authorization
Privileges Access Control
§  Objects consist of databases, tables,
and views
§  Privileges are GRANTed on objects
o  SELECT: read access to an object
o  INSERT: write (insert) access to an
object
o  UPDATE: write (update) access to an
object
o  DELETE: delete access for an object
o  ALL PRIVILEGES: all privileges
§  Roles can be associated with objects
§  Privileges are associated with roles
§  CREATE, DROP, and SET ROLE
statements manipulate roles and
membership
§  SUPERUSER role for databases can
grant access control to users or roles
(not limited to HDFS permissions)
§  PUBLIC role includes all users
§  Prevents undesirable operations on
objects by unauthorized users
