Apache Hive

Setup Guide

Follow these steps to connect Apache Hive to your Connect AI account:

1. Open the Connections page of the Connect AI dashboard.

2. Click + Add Connection in the upper-right corner.

3. Type Apache Hive into the search field, then click the data source name.

4. On the Basic Settings tab of the new connection, enter a connection name or keep the default name.

5. Enter the Transport Mode to use for communicating with the Hive server: HTTP or BINARY.

6. For HTTP transport mode only, enter the HTTP Path, available in the ‘hive.server2.thrift.http.path’ property of your Hive configuration file (hive.site.xml).

7. Select an Auth Scheme for use in connecting to Apache Hive. Select the option that matches the configuration of the HiveServer2. Follow the relevant instructions below.

Authentication Methods

Plain

1. Enter the following information:

   • User—the Apache Hive username for authentication.
   • Password—the user password.
   • Port—the port for connecting to the Apache Hive server. If using HTTP transport mode, set Port to the value in the ‘hive.server2.thrift.http.port’ property of the Hive configuration file (hive.site.xml).
   • Server—the host name or IP address of the server hosting HiveServer2.
   • Database—(optional) the Apache Hive database to use. If left empty, the connection uses the default Apache Hive database.
2. At the top of the Connect AI Add Connection page, click Save & Test.

   • If the connection test succeeds, a Connection successfully saved message appears, indicating that your connection has been created. The Status on the Edit Connection page also changes to Authenticated. View the data model of your successful connection in the right pane of the Edit Connection page, in the Data Model tab.
   • If the connection test fails, ensure that you entered your login information correctly with no stray spaces or other characters. Connect AI displays error messages under the required fields with missing data. Some data sources require that you sign in directly to the source website. If you did not, an error message appears under the Sign in button. Correct the errors and try again.
   • Unsuccessful connections are saved as drafts and have a Status of Not Authenticated. You can return to the connection and authenticate it later.
3. In Apache Hive, add the Connect AI static IP addresses to your connection whitelist.

LDAP

1. Enter the following information:

   • User—the Apache Hive username for authentication.
   • Password—the user password.
   • Port—the port for connecting to the Apache Hive server. If using HTTP transport mode, set Port to the value in the ‘hive.server2.thrift.http.port’ property of the Hive configuration file (hive.site.xml).
   • Server—the host name or IP address of the server hosting HiveServer2.
   • Database—(optional) the Apache Hive database to use. If left empty, the connection uses the default Apache Hive database.
2. At the top of the Connect AI Add Connection page, click Save & Test.

   • If the connection test succeeds, a Connection successfully saved message appears, indicating that your connection has been created. The Status on the Edit Connection page also changes to Authenticated. View the data model of your successful connection in the right pane of the Edit Connection page, in the Data Model tab.
