Frequently Asked Hive Driver Questions

Learn more about Hive drivers & connectors for data and analytics integration


The Hive driver acts like a bridge that facilitates communication between various applications and Hive, allowing the application to read data as if it were a relational database. The Hive driver abstracts the complexities of Hive APIs, authentication methods, and data types, making it simple for any application to connect to Hive data in real-time via standard SQL queries.

Working with a Hive Driver is different than connecting with Hive through other means. Hive API integrations require technical experience from a software developer or IT resources. Additionally, due to the constant evolution of APIs and services, once you build your integration you have to constantly maintain Hive integration code moving forward.

By comparison, our Hive Drivers offer codeless access to live Hive data for both technical and non-technical users alike. Any user can install our drivers and begin working with live Hive data from any client application. Because our drivers conform to standard data interfaces like ODBC, JDBC, ADO.NET etc. they offer a consistent, maintenance-free interface to Hive data. We manage all of the complexities of Hive integration within each driver and deploy updated drivers as systems evolve so your applications continue to run seamlessly.

If you need truly zero-maintenance integration, check out connectivity to Hive via CData Connect Cloud. With Connect Cloud you can configure all of your data connectivity in one place and connect to Hive from any of the available Cloud Drivers and Client Applications. Connectivity to Hive is managed in the cloud, and you never have to worry about installing new drivers when Hive is updated.

Many organizations draw attention to their library of connectors. After all, data connectivity is a core capability needed for applications to maximize their business value. However, it is essential to understand exactly what you are getting when evaluating connectivity. Some vendors are happy to offer connectors that implement basic proof-of-concept level connectivity. These connectors may highlight the possibilities of working with Hive, but often only provide a fraction of capability. Finding real value from these connectors usually requires additional IT or development resources.

Unlike these POC-quality connectors, every CData Hive driver offers full-featured Hive data connectivity. The CData Hive drivers support extensive Hive integration, providing access to all of the Hive data and meta-data needed by enterprise integration or analytics projects. Each driver contains a powerful embedded SQL engine that offers applications easy and high-performance access to all Hive data. In addition, our drivers offer robust authentication and security capabilities, allowing users to connect securely across a wide range of enterprise configurations. Compare drivers and connectors to read more about some of the benefits of CData's driver connectivity.

With our drivers and connectors, every data source is essentially SQL-based. The CData Hive driver contains a full SQL-92 compliant engine that translates standard SQL queries into Hive API calls dynamically. Queries are parsed and optimized for each data source, pushing down as much of the request to Hive as possible. Any logic that can not be pushed to Hive is handled transparently client-side by the driver/connector engine. Ultimately, this means that Hive looks and acts exactly like a database to any client application or tool. Users can integrate live Hive connectivity with ANY software solution that can talk to a standard database.

The Hive drivers and connectors offer comprehensive access to Hive data. Our Hive driver exposes static and dynamic data and metadata, providing universal access to Hive data for any enterprise analytics or data mangement use. To explore the Hive driver data model, please review the edition-specific Hive driver documentation.

Using the CData Hive drivers and connectors, Hive can be easily integrated with almost any application. Any software or technology that can integrate with a database or connect with standards-based drivers like ODBC, JDBC, ADO.NET, etc., can use our drivers for live Hive data connectivity. Explore some of the more popular Hive data integrations online.

Additionally, since Hive supported by CData Connect Cloud, we enable all kinds of new Hive cloud integrations.

Hive Analytics and Hive Cloud BI integration is universally supported for BI and data science. In addition, CData provides native client connectors for popular analytics applications like Power BI, Tableau, and Excel that simplify Hive data integration. Additionally, native Python connectors are widely available for data science and data engineering projects that integrate seamlessly with popular tools like Pandas, SQLAlchemy, Dash, and Petl.

Hive data integration is typically enabled with CData Sync, a robust any-to-any data pipeline solution that is easy to set up, runs everywhere, and offers comprehensive enterprise-class features for data engineering. CData Sync makes it easy to replicate Hive data any database or data warehouse, and maintain parity between systems with automated incremental Hive replication. In addition, our Hive drivers and connectors can be easily embedded into a wide range of data integration tools to augment existing solutions.

Absolutely. The best way to integrate Hive with Excel is by using the CData Connect Cloud Excel Add-In. The Hive Excel Add-In provides easy Hive integration directly from Microsoft Excel Desktop, Mac, or Web (Excel 365). Simply configure your connection to Hive from the easy-to-use cloud interface, and access Hive just like you would another native Excel data source.
