 Title: Apache Hive TM
 
-The Apache Hive ™ data warehouse software facilitates querying and 
managing large datasets residing in distributed storage. Hive provides a 
mechanism to project structure onto this data and query the data using a 
SQL-like language called HiveQL. At the same time this language also allows 
traditional map/reduce programmers to plug in their custom mappers and reducers 
when it is inconvenient or inefficient to express this logic in HiveQL.
