Migration paths for Hive users

If you are on HDP and executing Hive workloads in Hive LLAP mode and want to upgrade to Cloudera, you can follow the migration path that matches your use case.

Using LLAP is recommended for running complex ETL jobs that are unpredictable. LLAP is offered as part of Cloudera Data Warehouse and is not available in Cloudera Public Cloud and Cloudera Private Cloud Base. Using Hive on Tez (no LLAP) is recommended for running jobs that are scheduled and predictable. Hive on Tez is supported on Cloudera Public Cloud and Cloudera Private Cloud Base.

The following migration paths are recommended based on how predictable your jobs are and your workload type:
  • Migrate to Cloudera Public Cloud (Cloudera Data Hub) or Cloudera Private Cloud Base — If your jobs are scheduled and predictable.
  • Migrate to Cloudera Data Warehouse — If your jobs are unpredictable and if they could increase demand on compute resources.

The following diagram shows these recommended paths:
