That's true. If its not acceptable, then one can replace hive in emr cluster w/ latest version and then reuse it or build image from latest hadoop and hive ...

Also, they have their own versioning so EMR Hive's latest version 0.7.1 could be Apache Hive's 0.6.5 - I am not even sure. Basically, don't expect the latest Hive features to be available. igor decide.com On Tue, Aug 30, 2011 at 6:25 PM, jiang licht <licht_ji...@yahoo.com> wrote: Recommend Amazon ElasticMapReduce. Otherwise, it costs you time to prepare and set up hadoop and hive package for running on ec2. EMR does heavyweight lifting work for you and still allow you option to customize your hadoop and hive by pointing to their property files in xml (e.g. in S3). EMR also allows your hive job to run in batch mode (through emr client command tools or amazon consoler) or in interactive mode for test/debug purpose. Another benefit of using EMR/hive is that its hive has enhanced features otherwise not available, s.a., passing parameters from command line, loading partitions automatically from S3 instead of loading them individually, etc. Here's a link to emr faq and you may take a look at the answer to "Are there new features in Hive specific to Amazon Elastic MapReduce?" > > >http://aws.amazon.com/elasticmapreduce/faqs/ > > >Michael > > >________________________________ > From: "Aggarwal, Vaibhav" <vagg...@amazon.com> >To: "d...@hive.apache.org" <d...@hive.apache.org>; "user@hive.apache.org" ><user@hive.apache.org> >Sent: Tuesday, August 30, 2011 11:51 AM >Subject: RE: Hive in EC2 > >You could also choose to look at Amazon ElasticMapReduce. >It allows you to provision an EC2 cluster of your choice preinstalled with >Hive and Hadoop. > >https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/HiveAmazonElasticMapReduce > >Thanks >Vaibhav > >-----Original Message----- >From: MIS [mailto:misapa...@gmail.com] >Sent: Monday, August 29, 2011 11:03 PM >To: user@hive.apache.org; hive >Subject: Hive in EC2 > >Hi, > >Can somebody point me to production level setup of Hive in EC2.
