How to delete and update a record in Hive

Question

I have installed Hadoop, Hive, Hive JDBC. which are running fine for me. But I still have a problem. How to delete or update a single record using Hive because delete or upd

Answer 1

Upcoming version of Hive is going to allow SET based update/delete handling which is of utmost importance when trying to do CRUD operations on a 'bunch' of rows instead of taking one row at a time.

In the interim , I have tried a dynamic partition based approach documented here http://linkd.in/1Fq3wdb .

Please see if it suits your need.
