How to use Hive Query result in a variable for other query
Category : Hive
Many time we want to store one query result into a variable and then use this variable in some other query. So now it is possible in your favorite hadoop ecosystem i.e hive.
With the help of this article you can achieve it.
[root@m1 etc]# hive

Step1: Check table test1 description:
hive> desc Table test1;
OK
columnA date
Time taken: 0.452 seconds, Fetched: 1 row(s)
Step2: Table test2 description:
hive> desc Table test2;
OK
columnB date
Time taken: 0.516 seconds, Fetched: 1 row(s)
Step3: Assigning subquery to variable:
hive> set hivevar:var1=(select columnB from Table test2 where columnB=’2016-09-19′);
Step4: Running main query with subquery:
hive> select * from Table test1 where columnA IN ${hivevar:var1};
