Connecting to remote Mapr Hive via JDBC

Question 1

I had the same problem and was able to get around it by adding the correct dependency to my pom.xml file. I was getting the latest apache release of hive from maven central and switched to using the cdh4 release from the cloudera repo. So, what you are seeing may be a symptom of having the wrong hive-jdbc dependency. Here's the maven snippet I added to my pom file:

<repository>
<id>cloudera</id>
<url>https://repository.cloudera.com/artifactory/cloudera-repos/</url>
</repository>
...
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.hive</groupId>
<artifactId>hive-jdbc</artifactId>
<version>0.10.0-cdh4.3.2</version>
</dependency>

Here's a link about the cloudera repo.

Also, adding the ";auth=noSasl" to the URL made my application hang so I removed it.

Question 2

I think you need to specify the username. Also itshould be hive2 not hive since you are using hiveserver2. Try modifying your connection url:

Connection con = 
  DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:hive2://myserver.example.com:10000/default", "<user>", "");

Its given in the link Hive2

Hope this helps...!!!

Question 3

I also had same problem. Please check if server is reachable on the port 10000 from the client (server and port are enabled no firewall is restricting) also check hiveserver is up and running. if yes then it should work. following code work for me for mapr hive.

if you have any query related mapr, please refer answers.mapr.com, this contain most of the information which you might be requiring.

        //String tableName = "testHiveDriverTable";
       // ResultSet res1 = stmt.executeQuery("create table " + tableName + " (key int, value string)");

        while (res.next()) {

        }

        //mLogger.info("HiveJob executed!");
        System.out.println("HiveJob executed!");
    }
}

Question 4

You can use the beeline client to connect to hive using JDBC.

It would be some thing like: beeline !connect jdbc:hive2://localhost:10000

check the link: http://dwbitechguru.blogspot.ca/2014/11/how-to-connect-to-hadoop-hive-using.html

Question 5

In my case adding the: ;auth=noSasl to the JDBC connect string solved the endless waiting for the connection !

jdbc:hive2://server:10000/default;auth=noSasl

Question 6

You should get hive-service-X.XX.X-cdhX.X.X.jar here :https://repository.cloudera.com/artifactory/cloudera-repos/org/apache/hive/; It works fine to me.
