Hive <http://hadoop.apache.org/hive/> is a data warehouse infrastructure
built on top of Hadoop that provides tools to enable easy data
summarization, adhoc querying and analysis of large datasets data stored in
Hadoop files. It provides a mechanism to put structure on this data and it
also provides a simple query language called QL which is based on SQL and
which enables users familiar with SQL to query this data. At the same time,
this language also allows traditional map/reduce programmers to be able to
plug in their custom mappers and reducers to do more sophisticated analysis
which may not be supported by the built in capabilities of the language.

Is there any package currently out or in development that is looking into
using R like matrix capabilties with HIVE like big data abilties on a
remote/ parallel HPC.
