Hive to Iceberg – To migrate, or not to migrate

Migrating your Hive tables to Iceberg might seem like a quick fix for turning your data lake into a lakehouse, but it can create more problems than it solves when not done correctly. 

In this webinar, Lester Martin compares and contrasts the architectures of Apache Hive and Apache Iceberg, as well as walks through examples of when migrations would or would not be helpful. The session concludes with a demo on how Starburst Galaxy can help before, during, and after your migration.

You will learn: 

• The architectural differences between Apache Hive and Apache Iceberg
• When to consider adopting Apache Iceberg over Apache Hive
• Best practices to ensure a successful migration
• How to conduct a migration using Starburst Galaxy
