Creating a SQL Azure Database
When you actually provision your HDInsight cluster, you also get the option of customizing your Hive and Oozie
data stores. In contrast to the traditional Apache Hadoop, HDInsight gives you the option of selecting a SQL Azure
database for storing the metadata for Hive and Oozie. This section quickly explains how to create a SQL database on
Azure, which you would later use as storage for Hive and Oozie.
