How do you query the top ten records in a hive database?

There are two ways to query the top ten data items using Hive.

1. Use the LIMIT keyword.

SELECT * FROM table_name LIMIT 10;

This will return the first ten records from the table table_name.

1. Utilizing the ROW_NUMBER function

SELECT * FROM (
  SELECT *, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY column_name) as row_num FROM table_name
) sub
WHERE row_num <= 10;

This will return the top ten records sorted by the specified column_name. Please replace column_name with the name of the column you want to sort by and table_name with the name of the table you want to query.
