Knox on hive tcp jdbc

[#1]

Does knox only use http transport method? Is it able to use TCP? The reason I ask is if I connect to hive (kerberized) cluster using TCP (default method to connect to hive) jdbc would I have to use http instead if knox were to be enabled?

Yes you create another HS2 with HTTP transport to bind. Knox only uses http.

@Ancil McBarnett Does that mean maintaining 2 different meta repositories?

No it can be the same metadata repository. You have two different MySQL instances for two different metadata repositories if you wish
