> If a user needs to look up a small subset of records quickly, they can use
> Apache HBase, if they need fast retrieval of larger sets of data, or fast
> joins, aggregations, they can use Apache Impala. It seems to me that Hive
> indexes do not serve much of a role in the future of Hive.
> Even without moving workloads to other products, columnar file formats with
> their statistics achieve similar goals as Hive indexes.
> Please consider dropping Indexes from the Apache Hive project.
