There are several methods that can be used to import daily incremental data into Hive, a data warehouse tool based on Hadoop, for managing and analyzing large-scale data.

  1. By utilizing the INSERT INTO SELECT statement in Hive: Initially, load the daily incremental data into a temporary table, then insert the data from the temporary table into the target table in Hive using the INSERT INTO SELECT statement.
INSERT INTO TABLE target_table
SELECT * FROM temp_table;
  1. Use the LOAD DATA statement in Hive: store each day’s incremental data as a text file, then import the text file into the target table in Hive using the LOAD DATA statement.
LOAD DATA LOCAL INPATH '/path/to/incremental_data.txt' INTO TABLE target_table;
  1. Using external tables in Hive: If the incremental data is already stored in the Hadoop file system on a daily basis, you can create an external table pointing to the location of the incremental data and then insert the data from the external table into the target table in Hive.
CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE external_table (
  column1 data_type,
  column2 data_type,
  ...
)
LOCATION '/path/to/incremental_data';

INSERT INTO TABLE target_table
SELECT * FROM external_table;

The above are some common methods for importing daily incremental data into Hive, and the specific choice can be determined based on the source and storage method of the data.
