Commonly used commands - Development| Alibaba Cloud Documentation Center

This topic describes the commonly used commands that the MaxCompute client supports.

Commonly used commands are updated in the latest version of MaxCompute. After the update, you can use the commands in a similar way to those in Hive, which brings convenience to Hadoop and Hive users.

MaxCompute allows you to perform operations on objects, such as projects, tables, resources, and instances. You can use client commands or SDK to perform operations on these objects.
