What is HCatalog?

HCatalog is a table and storage management layer for Hadoop. It enables users with different data processing tools (like Pig, MapReduce, and Hive) to more easily read and write data on the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS). It provides a shared schema and data type mechanism, so users don't need to specify the data schema each time when processing data.
