r9.8 erwin DM Hive Reverse Engineer is slow

Reverse engineering from Hive database processing is slow due to the absence of system
tables. The required information is retrieved by manual parsing methods instead of a query language. 

• The 64-bit OS version of erwin DM has access to greater memory and that could help with the performance.  So make sure you are using that (the Help | About will tell).
•  The processing power of a machine could also help with the performance.
•  Finally, we have an import bridge for Hive also.  That may also be an option for you:  File | Import from external format.   Then you can select the Hive bridge (an example is in figure 1, below).

 Our suggestion is you run the reverse engineer over a weekend.
