Over the last few years I've been quite involved with using hive for big data analysis.
I've read many web tutorials and blogs about using hadoop/hive/pig for data analysis but all them seem to be over simplified and targeted as a "my first hive query" kind of audience instead of showing how to structure hive tables and queries for real word use cases eg years of data, reoccurring batch jobs to build aggregate/reporting tables and having to deal with late arriving data etc.
Most of these tutorials look something like this
Twitter Data -> hdfs/external hive table external hive table -> hive query -> results.
