For categorization, there are several different answers to the integration problem, but text export of a sampled and curated data file is pretty typical as a data path.
The on-line sequential classifiers are a bit more flexible and would allow different input formats at the cost of coding on your part. Keep in mind that Hive is keeping flat files in HDFS anyway. Adding an additional format so that you don't have to copy a Hive output file one extra time isn't hard, but neither is it hard to have Hive pop out something like comma separated values.
