How to use Hive without hadoop

Question

I am a new to NoSQL solutions and want to play with Hive. But installing HDFS/Hadoop takes a lot of resources and time (maybe without experience but I got no time to do this

Answer 1

You cant, just download Hive, and run:

./bin/hiveserver2                                                                                                                                        
Cannot find hadoop installation: $HADOOP_HOME or $HADOOP_PREFIX must be set or hadoop must be in the path

Hadoop is like a core, and Hive need some library from it.
