You need to be a bit more clear with your environment and objective here.... What is your back-end execution engine? MapReduce, Spark, or Tez? What are you using for resource management? YARN or MapReduce?
The running time of one query in the presence of other queries will entirely depend on the cost/complexity of the queries. If each query is able to fully utilize your allocated resources on the cluster then they will be slower when run at the same time. However, many times in hive, depending on the query and depending on the cluster resources, a single hive query will only utilize a fraction of the cluster resources, in this case multiple queries could be run at the same time with no detrimental impact to performance as long as those queries aren't updating the same hive table.

What is the ideal setup required to run this experiment ? Should I have two Hive CLI's open and issue queries simultaneously ? How to script such experiment in Hive ?
