After going through this chapter, we are now able to understand when and why to use big data instead of a traditional relational database. We also learned about the difference between batch processing, real-time processing, and stream processing. We are now familiar with the Hadoop ecosystem, especially Hive. We have traveled back in time and brushed through the history of databases, data warehouse, and big data. We also explored some big data terms, the Hadoop ecosystem, the Hive architecture, and the advantage of using Hive.
In the next chapter, we will practice installing Hive and review all the tools needed to start using Hive in the command-line environment.
