How many simultaneous users of hive can there be? Are different invocations of hive by the same user likely to conflict?
I ask as I have millions of files to load into hive and so it makes sense to set off several simultaneous hive jobs to load this data in, e.g. with commands like LOAD DATA LOCAL INPATH 'data.txt' INTO TABLE mytable; Will these conflict with each other? Is there a better way to achieve a massive data load from millions of files? Each file is large. Thanks David
