Hive GUI !

[#1]

Hello,

I have a customer wondering what can they use as Hive GUI (but not based on web technology, so not Ambari view or Hue)

I was thinking of / found http://squirrel-sql.sourceforge.net/ and https://www.toadworld.com/products/toad-for-hadoop and probably eclipse with JDBC ? Any feedback is welcome.

Thanks and kind regards.

I confirm that DbVisualizer works fine with HiveServer2. We use it quite a lot in one big ETL-Hive project we have.

Take care, the free version has some limitations (for instance, you can't have 2 same tabs opened at the same time) and depending on the usage you have of that tool, you might want the comercial version.

+1. I miss the 'run selected' option in free version. Still a great tool though and also works with kerberos environment or when Knox is being used.

can you share a link with steps to configure db visualizer to connect to hive please?

DBVisualizer or Squirrel.

Please see this http://community.hortonworks.com/content/kbentry/3043/connecting-to-hive-thrift-server-on-hortonwork...

you can also use Microsoft Visual Studio https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/updates/updated-visual-studio-tools-for-apache-hive/ and Oracle SQL Developer http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/sql-developer/overview/index-097090.html and

I am a big fan of AquaData Studio. Available here: http://www.aquafold.com/aquadatastudio.html It's not free, but is extremely powerful.
