Hi there, To analyze the data you need to load the data file into hive first.this will be done by creating a table(CREATE TABLE) and loading the file data(LOAD DATA) into the table according to your requirement.
Actually the data is still stored in HDFS itself, you can go to user/hive/warehouse directory and check it. No hive is not a database. Hive is a datawarehouse system. it uses a derby or any JDBC complaint database as a underlying data store.
