Dive into the world of SQL on Hadoop and get the most out of your Hive data warehouses. This book is your go-to resource for using Hive: authors Scott Shaw, Ankur Gupta, David Kjerrumgaard, and Andreas Francois Vermeulen take you through learning HiveQL, the SQL-like language specific to Hive, to analyze, export, and massage the data stored across your Hadoop environment. From deploying Hive on your hardware or virtual machine and setting up its initial configuration to learning how Hive interacts with Hadoop, MapReduce, Tez and other big data technologies, Practical Hive gives you a detailed treatment of the software. In addition, this book discusses the value of open source software, Hive performance tuning, and how to leverage semi-structured and unstructured data. What You Will Learn Install and configure Hive for new and existing datasets Perform DDL operations Execute efficient DML operations Use tables, partitions, buckets, and user-defined functions Discover performance tuning tips and Hive best practices Who This Book Is For Developers, companies, and professionals who deal with large amounts of data and could use software that can efficiently manage large volumes of input. It is assumed that readers have the ability to work with SQL.

Twenty-five patients of intracranial small ring (multiple / single) enhancing lesions were studied, 10 males and 15 females, age group of 20 to 40 years. Common presentation was seizures (68%), headache (68%), fever and focal neurological deficit. The various lesions were tuberculoma (48%), neurocysticercosis(32%), malignancy (12%), brain abscess and toxoplasmosis (4%). On MRI, single ring enhancing lesions were seen in 76%, multiple in only 24%. The size of the solitary lesions ranged from 0-10 mm. Commonest site was frontal lobe encountered in 36%; 12% lesions were encountered in parietal lobe. Other sites were lentiform nucleus, cerebellum, globus pallidus, pons. One patient had multiple lesions scattered in bilateral cerebral hemispheres. Patients were treated with anticonvulsants, anti helminthic/ antitubercular drugs, etc as per the aetiology. Neurocysticercosis showed 75% complete resolution after a 3 weeks course of Albendazole with steroids. Symptoms and MRI scan findings can resolve with prompt treatment.
