How to Do I get the Hive JDBC Driver for My Client

amcbarnett — Sat, 03 Oct 2015 07:22:30 GMT

I would like to use SquirrelSQL or Oracle SQL Developer or another SQL tool to connect to Hive via JDBC. Where do I find the Hive JDBC Client?

FOR HDP 2.2.x From /usr/hdp/current/hive-client/lib/ sftp or scp to your local desktop

hive-*-0.14*.jar
httpclient-4.2.5.jar
httpcore-4.2.5.jar
libthrift-0.9.0.jar
libfb303-0.9.0.jar
commons-logging-1.1.3.jar

FOR HDP 2.3.x

From /usr/hdp/current/hive-client/lib/ sftp or scp to your local desktop

hive-jdbc.jar

FOR BOTH

From /usr/hdp/current/hadoop-client

hadoop-common.jar
hadoop-auth.jar

From /usr/hdp/current/hadoop-client/lib

log4j-1.2.17.jar
slf4j-*.jar

Download SquirrelSQL from sourceforge.net

http://squirrel-sql.sourceforge.net/

Configure Hive Driver in Squirrel SQL

Select ‘Drivers -> New Driver…’ to register the Hive JDBC driver.
Enter Hive for Driver Name and jdbc:// Example URL: jdbc:hive://localhost:10000/default
Select ‘Extra Class Path -> Add’ to add the jars you copied from the previous steps.
Enter org.apache.hive.jdbc.HiveDriver as Class Name

Add a New Hive Connection Alias for HDP 2.3

Choose Alias -> New Alias
Enter “Hive for HDP 2.3”
Enter “jdbc:hive2://1270.0.1:10000”
Enter “hive” for User Name and “hive” for Password.
Test your connection and ensure it is successful
Connect to “Hive for HDP 2.3.” alias. If successful you would be presented with the default and xademo databases.

Oracle SQL Developer and Toad for Apache Hadoop does not use Apache Hive JDBC Driver. They are both black boxes that hide the the ability to easily point to a JDBC class path and just end whatever JDBC properties you desire.

So if you need to add special properties for ssl, or kerberos or ldap authentication, neither SQL Developer nor Toad will work.

Use SQL Workbench J, RazorSQL or Squirrel SQL instead.

@dstreever@hortonworks.com has a nice write up on this, including a script that pulls together the needed jars, on his wiki at https://streever.atlassian.net/wiki/x/DABD.

Starting with Hive 0.14, there is a standalone jar that contains most of the necessary binaries. It still currently requires two additional jars until HIVE-9600 is resolved:

hive-jdbc-<version>-standalone.jar
hadoop-common.jar
hadoop-auth.jar

See http://docs.hortonworks.com/HDPDocuments/HDP2/HDP-2.3.0/bk_dataintegration/content/hive-jdbc-odbc-drivers.html for details.

I have tested this and this is the best/easy way to configure the connection
