When to choose "Internal Table" in Hive?..

Answer / Mitul Saxena

The Internal Table in Hive is a performance optimized table storage format that stores data on HDFS and manages its own metadata. It is recommended when you require high query performance, as it uses columnar storage, partitioning, and bucketing for efficient data access. However, it may not support some advanced features like JSON serialization or external tables.
