TNWiki Article Spotlight - Analyze Twitter data with Hive in Azure HDInsight

Hello and welcome everybody to our TNWiki Article Spotlight on Tuesday.

With the recent release of Apache Spark running on Microsoft Azure HDInsight a new tool was added to the Big Data ecosystem on Azure. One tool we have at our fingertips now for a while is called Apache Hive. Hive is a nice project for analysing massive amounts of data and with Excels support for Hive it is also used by non-developers. One of the most common examples to show the potenzial of Hive is to analyse Twitter data. Luckily, we now have an extended article on that example in our wiki. With Analyze Twitter data with Hive in Azure HDInsight you get an understanding what Hive is, how the showcase is built and my favourite part, how you can analyse your results in Excel. This article was created by someone we all already know, Chervine. He did a great job on this one and I hope to see more articles covering Azure in general or HDInsight in particular from him or somebody else from our amazing community.
