Configuring Hive Server2 as a Connection

Configuring a HiveServer2 connection is similar to configuring Hive.

...

  1. Click the + (plus) button at the top left of the File Browser and select Connection, or right-click on a folder, select Create New then select Connection.
  2. From drop-down list, select Hive Server2 as the connection type. Click Next.
  3. Enter the HiveServer2 connection address and port number. 
    Select TCP/Binary or HTTP as the transport mode. (Transport mode option is available as of Datameer v6.3)
         - If selecting HTTP as the transport mode, the property hive.server2.thrift.http.path has the hardcoded value of cliservice. Learn more at Apache Hive.
         - HTTP mode using SSL is not supported.
         - HTTP mode can only be used if Hive supports token based authentication. Hive versions >= 1.2 supports this feature.
    Optional: 
         - Enter a database filter to limit the amount listed databases when importing with this connector.
         - Enter an export path where exports from this connector are written. 
         - Enter any additional custom properties.

    Warning

    If the database filter for a connection is updated, all import and export jobs using a prohibited database fail upon running.

    Security

    Kerberos

    Select Kerberos Secured Hive and enter both the Hive and HDFS principals.

    LDAP

    (As of Datameer v6.1)

    Select LDAP/AD Authentication and select between having the HiveServer2 connector provide the authorization credentials or have the credentials provided by the individual import/export jobs.

    Sentry 

    Datameer respects Sentry permissions from users running HiveServer2.

    How Datameer and Sentry interact with users:

    When you add an artifact though Datameer to Hive, it is added using the Datameer service account. The Datameer service account must has all permissions for Hive to authenticate with Sentry.

    However, data is accessed on the Hive cluster using the Datameer user account. The Datameer user account must have permissions for the requested data in Hive as well as Datameer to authenticate with Sentry.

    At the transport level, HiverServer2 has multiple connection methods available. Datameer currently supports the following binary connection methods:

    • SASL

    • Non SSL
    • NOSASL
    • Kerberos
    • Plain

  4. Fill out a description and save the connector.
