Apache Hive 0.10.0 is Now Available by Ashutosh Chauhan.

From the post:

We are pleased to announce the the release of Apache Hive version 0.10.0. More than 350 JIRA issues have been fixed with this release. A few of the most important fixes include:

Cube and Rollup: Hive now has support for creating cubes with rollups. Thanks to Namit!

List Bucketing: This is an optimization that lets you better handle skew in your tables. Thanks to Gang!

Better Windows Support: Several Hive 0.10.0 fixes support running Hive natively on Windows. There is no more cygwin dependency. Thanks to Kanna!

Explain’ Adds More Info: Now you can do an explain dependency and the explain plan will contain all the tables and partitions touched upon by the query. Thanks to Sambavi!

Improved Authorization: The metastore can now optionally do authorization checks on the server side instead of on the client, providing you with a better security profile. Thanks to Sushanth!

Faster Simple Queries: Some simple queries that don’t require aggregations, and therefore MapReduce jobs, can now run faster.Thanks to Navis!

Better YARN Support: This release contains additional work aimed at making Hive work well with Hadoop YARN. While not all test cases are passing yet, there has been a lot of good progress made with this release. Thanks to Zhenxiao!

Union Optimization: Hive queries with unions will now result in a lower number of MapReduce jobs under certain conditions. Thanks to Namit!

Undo Your Drop Table: While not really truly ‘undo’, you can now reinstate your table after dropping it. Thanks to Andrew!

Show Create Table: The lets you see how you created your table. Thanks to Feng!

Support for Avro Data: Hive now has built-in support for reading/writing Avro data. Thanks to Jakob!

Skewed Joins: Hive’s support for joins involving skewed data is now improved. Thanks to Namit!

Robust Connection Handling at the Metastore Layer: Connection handling between a metastore client and server and also between a metastore server and the database layer has been improved. Thanks to Bhushan and Jean!

More Statistics: Its now possible to collect and store scalar-valued statistics for your tables and partitions. This will enable better query planning in upcoming releases. Thanks to Shreepadma!

Better-Looking HWI : HWI now uses a bootstrap javascript library. It looks really slick. Thanks to Hugo!

If you are excited about some of these new features, I recommend that you download hive-0.10 from: Hive 0.10 Release.
