How Licensing Works

Hive on MR3 is not a hosted service. Instead, users install and run it on their own infrastructure — whether on-premises, in the cloud, or in hybrid environments.

How do I get started?

To get started, users download the MR3 release from the public repository and deploy it in the way that best fits their environment. The default release corresponds to the Free plan and includes a worker capacity of 512GB. For Kubernetes, users can use the public Docker image available on DockerHub.

How do I upgrade the plan?

Upgrading is simple. We ship a prebuilt binary that unlocks additional worker capacity. With minimal changes, you continue running Hive on MR3 — just with higher capacity.

Hive on MR3 gives you complete control. You’re not relying on a vendor-controlled black box.

Cost & Scaling

Predictable pricing and control over resource usage.

Security & Location

Deploy on-premises, in the cloud, or in hybrid environments.

Workload Flexibility

Tune your deployment and environment for your own workloads.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does worker capacity mean?

Worker capacity is the total amount of memory that your workers can use at the same time. You can choose how many workers to run and how much memory each one uses, as long as the total stays within your worker capacity. For example, on the Free plan with a worker capacity of 512GB, you can run 8 workers, each using 64GB of memory.

Can I evaluate Hive on MR3 with more than 512GB of worker capacity?

We offer a 30-day evaluation period with unlimited worker capacity, allowing you to test Hive on MR3 at full scale. Throughout the evaluation period, you’ll also receive custom onboarding support to help tune Hive on MR3 for optimal performance. If Hive on MR3 meets your needs, you can choose to upgrade to the Business plan.

Do you offer a discount for larger worker capacity?

Yes, we provide discounted pricing for larger deployments starting at 2TB of worker capacity. As your worker capacity increases, the rate becomes more favorable and you pay less per terabyte.

What kind of support is available for the Business plan?

The Business plan includes comprehensive support designed to help you run Hive on MR3 smoothly in production. You get:

  • Priority email support with responses within 12 hours across time zones — and often much faster.
  • On-demand video support via Zoom or another platform of your choice.
  • Pre-deployment planning, covering deployment method, prerequisites, and resource sizing.
  • Deployment assistance, including configuration review and validation of your first query.
  • Performance tuning baseline, helping you adjust settings such as fault tolerance, speculative execution, and shuffle behavior.
  • Competitive benchmarking, offering help to compare Hive on MR3 against Trino or Spark using your own queries or the TPC-DS benchmark.

This support complements the resources available to all users — including quick start guides, operations guides, community Slack, and the MR3 Google Group.
