A production solution handles 1 TB/day with 15% updates by keeping a base file per bucket and storing edits as separate HDFS files, then using a custom record reader that merges sorted base and edit streams at read time to synthesize current rows. It requires sorting on the primary key, consistent bucketing, compaction scheduled off-peak, and a cut‑off timestamp for repeatable reads. Prototype scales in daily tests but needs compaction tooling and fixes for Hive I/O quirks before wider release.
