Hive to Iceberg – To migrate, or not to migrate

Migrating your Hive tables to Iceberg might seem like a quick fix for turning your data lake into a lakehouse, but it can create more problems than it solves when not done correctly.

In this webinar, Lester Martin compares and contrasts the architectures of Apache Hive and Apache Iceberg, as well as provides examples of when migrations would or would not be helpful. The session concludes with a demo on how Starburst Galaxy can help before, during, and after your migration.
