What Is the Hive Web Interface

...

You should not need to edit the defaults for the Hive Web Interface. HWI uses:

Code Block

<property>
  <name>hive.hwi.listen.host</name>
  <value>0.0.0.0</value>
  <description>This is the host address the Hive Web Interface will listen on</description>
</property>

<property>
  <name>hive.hwi.listen.port</name>
  <value>9999</value>
  <description>This is the port the Hive Web Interface will listen on</description>
</property>

<property>
  <name>hive.hwi.war.file</name>
  <value>${HIVE_HOME}/lib/hive_-hwi-<version>.war</value>
  <description>This is the WAR file with the jsp content for Hive Web Interface</description>
</property>

...

When initializing hive with no arguments, the CLI is invoked. Hive has an extension architecture used to start other hive demons.
Jetty requires Apache Ant to start HWI. You should define ANT_LIB as an environment variable or add that to the hive invocation.

Code Block

export ANT_LIB=/opt/ant/lib
bin/hive --service hwi

Java has no direct way of demonizing. In a production environment you should create a wrapper script.

Code Block

nohup bin/hive --service hwi > /dev/null 2> /dev/null &

If you want help on the service invocation or list of parameters you can add

Code Block

bin/hive --service hwi --help
