Hive is a group of keys, subkeys in the registry that has a set of supporting files containing backups of the data. Basically, the hive is the location that stores Windows registry information. Each hive contains a tree, which has different keys and the key serves as a root that is the starting point of the tree or the top of the hierarchy in the registry. The registry contains registry keys, registry subkeys, and registry values. All keys that are considered as hives begin with “HKEY”. Hives are the set of registry keys that appear as folders on the left-hand side of the screen when all other keys have been minimized. Hive can not be created, deleted, or renamed. The hive was launched by Facebook, during the initial stages of development and later it was taken over by Apache Software Foundation.
Hue is a web user interface that provides a number of services and Hue is a Hadoop framework. Hue provides a web user interface along with the file path to browse HDFS. The most important features of Hue are Job browser, Hadoop shell, User admin permissions, Impala editor, HDFS file browser, Pig editor, Hive editor, Ozzie web interface, and Hadoop API Access. This web UI layout helps the users to browse the files, similar to that of an average windows user locating his files on his machine. Hue provides a web user interface to programming languages which is a handy tool for users to avoid syntax errors while executing queries. Hue can be installed or configured only using a web browser.
