In previous posts we have looked at storing data files to blob storage and using PowerShell to spin up an HDInsight Hadoop cluster. We have also installed some basic software that will help us get going once the services are provisioned. Now that the basics are ready, it is time to process some of that data using Hive and Visual Studio. In this scenario, we will be loading our Happiness Index data files into Hive tables and then consolidating that data into a single file.
