Hello ma'am, Hive queries are parsed using ANTLR <http://www.antlr.org/> and and are converted into corresponding MR jobs(actually a lot of things happen under the hood). I had answered a similar question<http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17090022/hive-query-control-flow/17095756?noredirect=1#comment24873979_17095756>few days ago on SO, you might find it helpful. But I would suggest you to go through the original paper<http://cs.brown.edu/courses/cs227/papers/hive.pdf>which explains all these things in proper detail. I would also recommend you to go through the book "Programming Hive". It's really nice.
