Processing Big Data with Apache Hive and Esri ArcPy

Data Scientists, if you are processing and analyzing spatial data and are using Python, then ArcPy should be included in your arsenal of tools and ArcMap should be utilized for geo spatial data visualization.  Following the last post where I extended Apache Hive with spatial User Defined Functions (UDFs), in this post I will demonstrate the usage of the "extended" Hive within Python and how to...

Big Data, Spatial Hive, Sequence Files

Following the last post, where we used Pig to analyze data stored in HDFS, in this post we will be using Hive and spatially enabling it for geo analysis. Hive enable you to write SQL like statements in a language called HiveQL that Hive converts to a MapReduce job that is submitted to Hadoop for execution. Again, if you know SQL, then learning HiveQL is very easy and intuitive.  Hive is...
