The titled SocketTimeoutException occurs when the thrift-client in hiveConnection object is in the process of actively reading sql results from hive server2 (thrift server), and is not able to receive anything until the TSocket's time out occurs. You can check the source code from:HiveConnection.setupLoginTimeout and HiveAuthFactory.getSocketTransport. So you need to either tuning hiveserver2, or increase the TSocket's timeout setting. And for now, the only way to increase Tsocket's time out setting is via: DriverManager.setLoginTimeout() you can check below jira for more information: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-22196 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-6679 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-12371
