Hello,

As I mentioned in the title of this question, I wonder what is the IPC client in Hive, and what does it do.

If anyone happens to know, any help will be very thankful.

Thank you.

IPC is a generic concept. It's not particular to Hive. In fact several hadoop service communicate this way.

Using IPC, clients can connect to Server components at a certain port and invoke methods exposed by a server.
