Hi, Statements in an query file are executed serially. When a query is parsed by Hive, independent stages of the query are executed in parallel when you set the parallelization flag.
If the queries are completely independent of each other, it may be better to split them into separate files and set multiple oozie actions. If queries rely on prior query resultsets, you're best off keeping them in a single file, or writing logic outside of hive to manage order of execution.
