Hive vs. Minitab Connect

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.

Minitab Connect is a data integration and analytics workflow platform that helps organizations collect, prepare, monitor, and share data from multiple sources. It provides connectors, automated data pipelines, tables, forms, dashboards, and alerts so teams can use current data for reporting and further analysis. Users can bring in data from files, databases, cloud services, and operational systems. They can organize it in tables and views, apply repeatable preparation steps, and schedule flows that refresh data without rebuilding the same report manually.
