pyhive connection error: thrift.transport.TTransport.TTransportException: TSocket read 0 bytes

[#1]

I'm trying to get a table located in hive (hortonworks) ,to collect some twitter data to implement on a machine learning project, using pyhive since pyhs2 is not supported by python3.6.

Here's my code:

from pyhive import hive
conn = hive.Connection(host='192.168.1.11', port=10000, auth='NOSASL')
import pandas as pd
import sys
df = pd.read_sql("SELECT * FROM my_table", conn)
print(sys.getsizeof(df))
df.head()

When compiling I get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Can somebody help?

I have my sandbox configured for "NONE" authentication, since the NOSASL option is not available.

Used impyla.

Works like a charm 🙂

I had a similar problem with pyhive on my horton setup. The failure was always immediate and so it was not a timeout issue that some people on the net were pointing out.

It turned out to be hive.server2.transport.mode. If this is set to binary, it works like a Charm. If it is 'http', PyHive does not work.

Also found https://github.com/dropbox/PyHive/issues/69 which talks about this. HTH.
