Connect to Hive Data in DBeaver

The CData JDBC Driver for ApacheHive implements JDBC standards that enable third-party tools to interoperate, from wizards in IDEs to business intelligence tools. This article shows how to connect to Hive data with wizards in DBeaver and browse data in the DBeaver GUI.

Create a JDBC Data Source for ApacheHive Data

Follow the steps below to load the driver JAR in DBeaver.

1. Open the DBeaver application and, in the Databases menu, select the Driver Manager option. Click New to open the Create New Driver form.
2. In the Driver Name box, enter a user-friendly name for the driver.
3. To add the .jar, click Add File.
4. In the create new driver dialog that appears, select the cdata.jdbc.apachehive.jar file, located in the lib subfolder of the installation directory.
5. Click the Find Class button and select the ApacheHiveDriver class from the results. This will automatically fill the Class Name field at the top of the form. The class name for the driver is cdata.jdbc.apachehive.ApacheHiveDriver.
6. Add jdbc:apachehive: in the URL Template field.

Create a Connection to Hive Data

Follow the steps below to add credentials and other required connection properties.

1. In the Databases menu, click New Connection.
2. In the Create new connection wizard that results, select the driver.
3. On the next page of the wizard, click the driver properties tab.

4. Enter values for authentication credentials and other properties required to connect to Hive.

   Apache Hive への接続を確立するには以下を指定します。

   • Server：HiveServer2 をホストするサーバーのホスト名またはIP アドレスに設定。
   • Port：HiveServer2 インスタンスへの接続用のポートに設定。
   • TransportMode：Hive サーバーとの通信に使用するトランスポートモード。有効な入力値は、BINARY およびHTTP です。デフォルトではBINARY が選択されます。
   • AuthScheme：使用される認証スキーム。有効な入力値はPLAIN、LDAP、NOSASL、およびKERBEROS です。デフォルトではPLAIN が選択されます。
   • 本製品においてTLS/SSL を有効化するには、UseSSL をTrue に設定します

   Below is a typical connection string:

   jdbc:apachehive:Server=127.0.0.1;Port=10000;TransportMode=BINARY;

Query Hive Data

You can now query information from the tables exposed by the connection: Right-click a Table and then click Edit Table. The data is available on the Data tab.
