We are using Hue, and also Toad for users to access Hive on our Big Data environment.
- We have found Hue to work fine if you would like to quickly browse a small set of data, and view schemas.
- We have found Toad better when it comes to execute more resourceful queries that take longer since it's an application and avoiding HTTP timeouts or browsers hanging/crashing... Intellisense also helps a lot. However Toad sometimes doesn't display results, and seems to be buggy - connections are sometimes not saved, intellisense stops working sometimes and jobs are not submitted.
Has anyone any good recommendations for open source tools, or commercial ones that are alternatives to the mentioned tools, and possible better when it comes to browse schemas/execute hive queries?
