## S3 method for class 'tbl_Hive'
compute(x, name = dplyr:::random_table_name(),
  temporary = TRUE, ..., overwrite = FALSE)

`x`	A `tbl_Hive` object
`name`	The name of the Hive table to create
`temporary`	Whether to create a temporary or permanent table
`overwrite`	Whether to overwrite an existing table with the same name if one exists in the Hive database

By default, a temporary table in the Hive database will be created, unless you specify that it should be a permanent table.

As a general rule, it is good practice to call compute after every few steps. Doing so helps make troubleshooting easier, as you don't need to wade through deeply nested statements to figure out what is going on, making it simpler to track down the point at something is going awry.
