Why hive does not store metadata information in hdfs?



Why hive does not store metadata information in hdfs?..

Answer / Musabbir Ali

Hive stores its metadata in Hive Metastore, a relational database management system (RDBMS), rather than in HDFS. This approach allows for more efficient handling of the large amounts of metadata associated with Hive tables, as well as improved performance due to faster querying and better indexing capabilities.
