Hive can replace RDBMS?

[Akshay_M]

No, we cannot call Apache Hive a relational database, as it is a data warehouse which is built on top of Apache Hadoop for providing data summarization, query and, analysis. It differs from a relational database in a way that it stores schema in a database and processed data into HDFS.
