If you are using a distribution (which you should if you go to production - Apache releases should not be used due to the maintainability, complexity and interaction with other components, such as Hadoop etc) then wait until a distribution with 2.x is out. As far as i am aware there is currently no such distribution. As far as i know , Hortonworks and probably also Cloudera test their distributions on large scale real production systems beforehand.
I would not use MR even with 1.x and go for TEZ (except you are using some very specific outdated functionality). Spark is another option, but i do not see Hive on Spark as stable and less functionality - this may change in the future. > On 14 Sep 2016, at 22:36, RD <rdsr...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi Folks, > We (at my org) are currently planning our move to Hive-2.x.
