Separated-Value Output Formats
Starting with Hive 0.14, there are improved SV output formats available, namely DSV, CSV2 and TSV2. These conform better to standard CSV convention, which adds quotes around a cell value only if it contains special characters (such as the delimiter character or a quote character) or spans multiple lines. These three formats differ only with the delimiter between cells, which is comma for CSV2, tab for TSV2, and configurable for DSV (delimiterForDSV property).
CSV and TSV output formats are maintained for backward compatibility, but beware as they add additional single-quote characters around all cell values contrary to this convention.
HiveServer2 Logging
Starting with Hive 0.14.0, HiveServer2 operation logs are available for Beeline clients. These parameters configure logging:
- hive.server2.logging.operation.enabled
- hive.server2.logging.operation.log.location
- hive.server2.logging.operation.verbose (Hive 0.14 to 1.1)
- hive.server2.logging.operation.level (Hive 1.2 onward)
HIVE-11488 (Hive 2.0.0) adds the support of logging queryId and sessionId to HiveServer2 log file. To enable that, edit/add %X{queryId} and %X{sessionId} to the pattern format string of the logging configuration file.
JDBC
HiveServer2 has a JDBC driver. It supports both embedded and remote access to HiveServer2. Remote HiveServer2 mode is recommended for production use, as it is more secure and doesn't require direct HDFS/metastore access to be granted for users.
Connection URLs
Connection URL Format
The HiveServer2 URL is a string with the following syntax:
jdbc:hive2://<host1>:<port1>,<host2>:<port2>/dbName;sess_var_list?hive_conf_list#hive_var_list
where
<host1>:<port1>,<host2>:<port2>
is a server instance or a comma separated list of server instances to connect to (if dynamic service discovery is enabled). If empty, the embedded server will be used.dbName
is the name of the initial database.sess_var_list
is a semicolon separated list of key=value pairs of session variables (e.g.,user=foo;password=bar
).hive_conf_list
is a semicolon separated list of key=value pairs of Hive configuration variables for this sessionhive_var_list
is a semicolon separated list of key=value pairs of Hive variables for this session.
Connection URL for Remote or Embedded Mode
The JDBC connection URL format has the prefix jdbc:hive2://
and the Driver class is org.apache.hive.jdbc.HiveDriver
. Note that this is different from the old HiveServer.
- For a remote server, the URL format is
jdbc:hive2://<host>:<port>/<db>
(default port for HiveServer2 is 10000). - For an embedded server, the URL format is
jdbc:hive2://
(no host or port).
Connection URL When HiveServer2 Is Running in HTTP Mode
JDBC connection URL: jdbc:hive2://<host>:<port>/<db>;transportMode=http;httpPath=<http_endpoint>
, where:
...
Info | ||
---|---|---|
| ||
In versions earlier than 0.14 these parameters used to be called |
Connection URL When SSL Is Enabled in HiveServer2
JDBC connection URL: jdbc:hive2://<host>:<port>/<db>;ssl=true;sslTrustStore=<trust_store_path>;trustStorePassword=<trust_store_password>
, where:
- <trust_store_path> is the path where client's truststore file lives.
- <trust_store_password> is the password to access the truststore.
In HTTP mode: jdbc:hive2://<host>:<port>/<db>;ssl=true;sslTrustStore=<trust_store_path>;trustStorePassword=<trust_store_password>;transportMode=http;httpPath=<http_endpoint>
.
For versions earlier than 0.14, see the version note above.
Connection URL When ZooKeeper Service Discovery Is Enabled
ZooKeeper-based service discovery introduced in Hive 0.14.0 (HIVE-7935) enables high availability and rolling upgrade for HiveServer2. A JDBC URL that specifies <zookeeper quorum> needs to be used to make use of these features.
With further changes in Hive 2.0.0 and 1.3.0 (unreleased, HIVE-11581), none of the additional configuration parameters such as authentication mode, transport mode, or SSL parameters need to be specified, as they are retrieved from the ZooKeeper entries along with the hostname.
The JDBC connection URL: jdbc:hive2://<zookeeper quorum>/;serviceDiscoveryMode=zooKeeper;zooKeeperNamespace=hiveserver2
.
The <zookeeper quorum> is the same as the value of hive.zookeeper.quorum configuration parameter in hive-site.xml/hivserver2-site.xml used by HiveServer2.
Named Connection URLs
As of Hive 2.1.0 (HIVE-13670), Beeline now also supports named URL connect strings via usage of environment variables. If you try to do a !connect
to a name that does not look like a URL, then Beeline will attempt to see if there is an environment variable called BEELINE_URL_<name>. For instance, if you specify !connect blue
, it will look for BEELINE_URL_BLUE, and use that to connect. This should make it easier for system administrators to specify environment variables for users, and users need not type in the full URL each time to connect.
Reconnecting
Traditionally, !reconnect
has worked to refresh a connection that has already been established. It is not able to do a fresh connect after !close
has been run. As of Hive 2.1.0 (HIVE-13670), Beeline remembers the last URL successfully connected to in a session, and is able to reconnect even after a !close
has been run. In addition, if a user does a !save
, then this is saved in the beeline.properties file, which then allows !reconnect
to connect to this saved last-connected-to URL across multiple Beeline sessions. This also allows the use of beeline -r
from the command line to do a reconnect on startup.

You can use JDBC to access data stored in a relational database or other tabular format.

JDBC Client Setup for a Secure Cluster
When connecting to HiveServer2 with Kerberos authentication, the URL format is:
jdbc:hive2://<host>:<port>/<db>;principal=<Server_Principal_of_HiveServer2>
The client needs to have a valid Kerberos ticket in the ticket cache before connecting.
NOTE: If you don't have a "/" after the port number, the jdbc driver does not parse the hostname and ends up running HS2 in embedded mode . So if you are specifying a hostname, make sure you have a "/" or "/<dbname>" after the port number.
In the case of LDAP, CUSTOM or PAM authentication, the client needs to pass a valid user name and password to the JDBC connection API.
To use sasl.qop, add the following to the sessionconf part of your Hive JDBC hive connection string, e.g.
jdbc:hive://hostname/dbname;sasl.qop=auth-int
For more information, see Setting Up HiveServer2.
Multi-User Scenarios and Programmatic Login to Kerberos KDC
In the current approach of using Kerberos you need to have a valid Kerberos ticket in the ticket cache before connecting. This entails a static login (using kinit, key tab or ticketcache) and the restriction of one Kerberos user per client. These restrictions limit the usage in middleware systems and other multi-user scenarios, and in scenarios where the client wants to login programmatically to Kerberos KDC.
One way to mitigate the problem of multi-user scenarios is with secure proxy users (see HIVE-5155). Starting in Hive 0.13.0, support for secure proxy users has two components:
...
...
incrementalBufferRows=NUMROWS | The number of rows to buffer when printing rows on stdout, defaults to 1000; only applicable if Usage: Version: 2.3.0 (HIVE-14170) |
--maxHistoryRows=NUMROWS | The maximum number of rows to store Beeline history. Version: 2.3.0 (HIVE-15166) |
--delimiter=; | Set the delimiter for queries written in Beeline. Multi-char delimiters are allowed, but quotation marks, slashes, and -- are not allowed. Defaults to ; Usage: Version: 3.0.0 (HIVE-10865) |
--convertBinaryArrayToString=[true/false] | Display binary column data as a string using the platform's default character set. The default behavior (false) is to display binary data using: Version: 3.0.0 (HIVE-14786) Display binary column data as a string using the UTF-8 character set. The default behavior (false) is to display binary data using Base64 encoding without padding. Usage: |
--help | Display a usage message. Usage: |
Output Formats
In Beeline, the result can be displayed in different formats. The format mode can be set with the outputformat
option.
The following output formats are supported:
- table
- vertical
- xmlattr
- xmlelements
- HiveServer2 Clients#json
- HiveServer2 Clients#jsonfile
- separated-value formats (csv, tsv, csv2, tsv2, dsv)
table
The result is displayed in a table. A row of the result corresponds to a row in the table and the values in one row are displayed in separate columns in the table.
This is the default format mode.

Separated-Value Output Formats
The values of a row are separated by different delimiters.
There are five separated-value output formats available: csv, tsv, csv2, tsv2 and dsv.
csv2, tsv2, dsv
Starting with Hive 0.14 there are improved SV output formats available, namely dsv, csv2 and tsv2.
These three formats differ only with the delimiter between cells, which is comma for csv2, tab for tsv2, and configurable for dsv.
For the dsv format, the delimiter can be set with the delimiterForDSV
option. The default delimiter is '|'.
Please be aware that only single character delimiters are supported.

Quoting in csv2, tsv2 and dsv Formats
If quoting is not disabled, double quotes are added around a value if it contains special characters (such as the delimiter or double quote character) or spans multiple lines.
Embedded double quotes are escaped with a preceding double quote.
The quoting can be disabled by setting the disable.quoting.for.sv
system variable to true.
If the quoting is disabled, no double quotes are added around the values (even if they contains special characters) and the embedded double quotes are not escaped.
By default, the quoting is disabled.

The values are always surrounded with single quote characters, even if the quoting is disabled by the disable.quoting.for.sv
system variable.
These output formats don't escape the embedded single quotes.
Please be aware that these output formats are deprecated and only maintained for backward compatibility.

HiveServer2 Logging
Starting with Hive 0.14.0, HiveServer2 operation logs are available for Beeline clients. These parameters configure logging:
- hive.server2.logging.operation.enabled
- hive.server2.logging.operation.log.location
- hive.server2.logging.operation.verbose (Hive 0.14 to 1.1)
- hive.server2.logging.operation.level (Hive 1.2 onward)
HIVE-11488 (Hive 2.0.0) adds the support of logging queryId and sessionId to HiveServer2 log file. To enable that, edit/add %X{queryId} and %X{sessionId} to the pattern format string of the logging configuration file.

on the Beeline shell, if there is a query which is running at the same time then Beeline attempts to cancel the query while closing the socket connection to HiveServer2. This behavior is enabled only when hive.server2.close.session.on.disconnect
is set to true
. Starting from Hive 2.2.0 (HIVE-15626) Beeline does not exit the command line shell when the running query is being cancelled as a user enters CTRL+C
. If the user wishes to exit the shell they can enter CTRL+C
for the second time while the query is being cancelled. However, if there is no query currently running, the first CTRL+C
will exit the Beeline shell. This behavior is similar to how the Hive CLI handles CTRL+C
.
!quit
is the recommended command to exit the Beeline shell.
Background Query in Terminal Script
Beeline can be run disconnected from a terminal for batch processing and automation scripts using commands such as nohup and disown.
Some versions of Beeline client may require a workaround to allow the nohup command to correctly put the Beeline process in the background without stopping it. See HIVE-11717, HIVE-6758.
The following environment variable can be updated:
Code Block | ||
---|---|---|
| ||
export HADOOP_CLIENT_OPTS="$HADOOP_CLIENT_OPTS -Djline.terminal=jline.UnsupportedTerminal" |
Running with nohangup (nohup) and ampersand (&) will place the process in the background and allow the terminal to disconnect while keeping the Beeline process running.
Code Block | ||
---|---|---|
| ||
nohup beeline --silent=true --showHeader=true --outputformat=dsv -f query.hql </dev/null > /tmp/output.log 2> /tmp/error.log & |
JDBC
HiveServer2 has a JDBC driver. It supports both embedded and remote access to HiveServer2. Remote HiveServer2 mode is recommended for production use, as it is more secure and doesn't require direct HDFS/metastore access to be granted for users.
Connection URLs
Connection URL Format
The HiveServer2 URL is a string with the following syntax:
jdbc:hive2://<host1>:<port1>,<host2>:<port2>/dbName;initFile=<file>;sess_var_list?hive_conf_list#hive_var_list
where
<host1>:<port1>,<host2>:<port2>
is a server instance or a comma separated list of server instances to connect to (if dynamic service discovery is enabled). If empty, the embedded server will be used.dbName
is the name of the initial database.- <file> is the path of init script file (Hive 2.2.0 and later). This script file is written with SQL statements which will be executed automatically after connection. This option can be empty.
sess_var_list
is a semicolon separated list of key=value pairs of session variables (e.g.,user=foo;password=bar
).hive_conf_list
is a semicolon separated list of key=value pairs of Hive configuration variables for this sessionhive_var_list
is a semicolon separated list of key=value pairs of Hive variables for this session.
Special characters in sess_var_list, hive_conf_list, hive_var_list
parameter values should be encoded with URL encoding if needed.
Connection URL for Remote or Embedded Mode
The JDBC connection URL format has the prefix jdbc:hive2://
and the Driver class is org.apache.hive.jdbc.HiveDriver
. Note that this is different from the old HiveServer.
- For a remote server, the URL format is
jdbc:hive2://<host>:<port>/<db>;initFile=<file>
(default port for HiveServer2 is 10000). - For an embedded server, the URL format is
jdbc:hive2:///;
(no host or port).initFile=<file>
The initFile
option is available in Hive 2.2.0 and later releases.
Connection URL When HiveServer2 Is Running in HTTP Mode
JDBC connection URL: jdbc:hive2://<host>:<port>/<db>;transportMode=http;httpPath=<http_endpoint>
, where:
<http_endpoint>
is the corresponding HTTP endpoint configured in hive-site.xml. Default value iscliservice
.- Default port for HTTP transport mode is 10001.

In versions earlier than 0.14 these parameters used to be called |
Connection URL When SSL Is Enabled in HiveServer2
JDBC connection URL: jdbc:hive2://<host>:<port>/<db>;ssl=true;sslTrustStore=<trust_store_path>;trustStorePassword=<trust_store_password>
, where:
- <trust_store_path> is the path where client's truststore file lives.
- <trust_store_password> is the password to access the truststore.
In HTTP mode: jdbc:hive2://<host>:<port>/<db>;ssl=true;sslTrustStore=<trust_store_path>;trustStorePassword=<trust_store_password>;transportMode=http;httpPath=<http_endpoint>
.
For versions earlier than 0.14, see the version note above.
Connection URL When ZooKeeper Service Discovery Is Enabled
ZooKeeper-based service discovery introduced in Hive 0.14.0 (HIVE-7935) enables high availability and rolling upgrade for HiveServer2. A JDBC URL that specifies <zookeeper quorum> needs to be used to make use of these features.
With further changes in Hive 2.0.0 and 1.3.0 (unreleased, HIVE-11581), none of the additional configuration parameters such as authentication mode, transport mode, or SSL parameters need to be specified, as they are retrieved from the ZooKeeper entries along with the hostname.
The JDBC connection URL: jdbc:hive2://<zookeeper quorum>/;serviceDiscoveryMode=zooKeeper;zooKeeperNamespace=hiveserver2
.
The <zookeeper quorum> is the same as the value of hive.zookeeper.quorum configuration parameter in hive-site.xml/hivserver2-site.xml used by HiveServer2.
Additional runtime parameters needed for querying can be provided within the URL as follows, by appending it as a ?<option> as before.
The JDBC connection URL: jdbc:hive2://<zookeeper quorum>/;serviceDiscoveryMode=zooKeeper;zooKeeperNamespace=hiveserver2?tez.queue.name=hive1&hive.server2.thrift.resultset.serialize.in.tasks=true
Named Connection URLs
As of Hive 2.1.0 (HIVE-13670), Beeline now also supports named URL connect strings via usage of environment variables. If you try to do a !connect
to a name that does not look like a URL, then Beeline will attempt to see if there is an environment variable called BEELINE_URL_<name>. For instance, if you specify !connect blue
, it will look for BEELINE_URL_BLUE, and use that to connect. This should make it easier for system administrators to specify environment variables for users, and users need not type in the full URL each time to connect.
Reconnecting
Traditionally, !reconnect
has worked to refresh a connection that has already been established. It is not able to do a fresh connect after !close
has been run. As of Hive 2.1.0 (HIVE-13670), Beeline remembers the last URL successfully connected to in a session, and is able to reconnect even after a !close
has been run. In addition, if a user does a !save
, then this is saved in the beeline.properties file, which then allows !reconnect
to connect to this saved last-connected-to URL across multiple Beeline sessions. This also allows the use of beeline -r
from the command line to do a reconnect on startup.
Using hive-site.xml to automatically connect to HiveServer2
As of Hive 2.2.0 (HIVE-14063), Beeline adds support to use the hive-site.xml present in the classpath to automatically generate a connection URL based on the configuration properties in hive-site.xml and an additional user configuration file. Not all the URL properties can be derived from hive-site.xml and hence in order to use this feature user must create a configuration file called “beeline-hs2-connection.xml” which is a Hadoop XML format file. This file is used to provide user-specific connection properties for the connection URL. Beeline looks for this configuration file in ${user.home}/.beeline/ (Unix based OS) or ${user.home}\beeline\ directory (in case of Windows). If the file is not found in the above locations Beeline looks for it in ${HIVE_CONF_DIR} location and /etc/hive/conf (check HIVE-16335 which fixes this location from /etc/conf/hive in Hive 2.2.0) in that order. Once the file is found, Beeline uses beeline-hs2-connection.xml in conjunction with the hive-site.xml in the class path to determine the connection URL.
The URL connection properties in beeline-hs2-connection.xml must have the prefix “beeline.hs2.connection.” followed by the URL property name. For example in order to provide the property ssl the property key in the beeline-hs2-connection.xml should be “beeline.hs2.connection.ssl”. The sample beeline.hs2.connection.xml below provides the value of user and password for the Beeline connection URL. In this case the rest of the properties like HS2 hostname and port information, Kerberos configuration properties, SSL properties, transport mode, etc., are picked up using the hive-site.xml in the class path. If the password is empty beeline.hs2.connection.password property should be removed. In most cases the below configuration values in beeline-hs2-connection.xml and the correct hive-site.xml in classpath should be sufficient to make the connection to the HiveServer2.
Code Block |
---|
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="configuration.xsl"?>
<configuration>
<property>
<name>beeline.hs2.connection.user</name>
<value>hive</value>
</property>
<property>
<name>beeline.hs2.connection.password</name>
<value>hive</value>
</property>
</configuration> |
In case of properties which are present in both beeline-hs2-connection.xml and hive-site.xml, the property value derived from beeline-hs2-connection.xml takes precedence. For example in the below beeline-hs2-connection.xml file provides the value of principal for Beeline connection in a Kerberos enabled environment. In this case the property value for beeline.hs2.connection.principal overrides the value of HiveConf.ConfVars.HIVE_SERVER2_KERBEROS_PRINCIPAL from hive-site.xml as far as connection URL is concerned.
Code Block |
---|
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="configuration.xsl"?>
<configuration>
<property>
<name>beeline.hs2.connection.hosts</name>
<value>localhost:10000</value>
</property>
<property>
<name>beeline.hs2.connection.principal</name>
<value>hive/dummy-hostname@domain.com</value>
</property>
</configuration> |
In case of properties beeline.hs2.connection.hosts, beeline.hs2.connection.hiveconf and beeline.hs2.connection.hivevar the property value is a comma-separated list of values. For example the following beeline-hs2-connection.xml provides the hiveconf and hivevar values in a comma separated format.
Code Block |
---|
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="configuration.xsl"?>
<configuration>
<property>
<name>beeline.hs2.connection.user</name>
<value>hive</value>
</property>
<property>
<name>beeline.hs2.connection.hiveconf</name>
<value>hive.cli.print.current.db=true, hive.cli.print.header=true</value>
</property>
<property>
<name>beeline.hs2.connection.hivevar</name>
<value>testVarName1=value1, testVarName2=value2</value>
</property>
</configuration> |
When the beeline-hs2-connection.xml is present and when no other arguments are provided, Beeline automatically connects to the URL generated using configuration files. When connection arguments (-u, -n or -p) are provided, Beeline uses them and does not use beeline-hs2-connection.xml to automatically connect. Removing or renaming the beeline-hs2-connection.xml disables this feature.
Using beeline-site.xml to automatically connect to HiveServer2
In addition to the above method of using hive-site.xml and beeline-hs2-connection.xml for deriving the JDBC connection URL to use when connecting to HiveServer2 from Beeline, a user can optionally add beeline-site.xml to their classpath, and within beeline-site.xml, she can specify complete JDBC URLs. A user can also specify multiple named URLs and use beeline -c <named_url>
to connect to a specific URL. This is particularly useful when the same cluster has multiple HiveServer2 instances running with different configurations. One of the named URLs is treated as default (which is the URL that gets used when the user simply types beeline
). An example beeline-site.xml is shown below:
Code Block |
---|
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="configuration.xsl"?>
<configuration>
<property>
<name>beeline.hs2.jdbc.url.tcpUrl</name>
<value>jdbc:hive2://localhost:10000/default;user=hive;password=hive</value>
</property>
<property>
<name>beeline.hs2.jdbc.url.httpUrl</name>
<value>jdbc:hive2://localhost:10000/default;user=hive;password=hive;transportMode=http;httpPath=cliservice</value>
</property>
<property>
<name>beeline.hs2.jdbc.url.default</name>
<value>tcpUrl</value>
</property>
</configuration> |
In the above example, simply typing beeline
opens a new JDBC connection to jdbc:hive2://localhost:10000/default;user=hive;password=hive
. If both beeline-site.xml and beeline-hs2-connection.xml are present in the classpath, the final URL is created by applying the properties specified in beeline-hs2-connection.xml on top of the URL properties derived from beeline-site.xml. As an example consider the following beeline-hs2-connection.xml:
Code Block |
---|
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="configuration.xsl"?>
<configuration>
<property>
<name>beeline.hs2.connection.user</name>
<value>hive</value>
</property>
<property>
<name>beeline.hs2.connection.password</name>
<value>hive</value>
</property>
</configuration> |
Consider the following beeline-site.xml:
Code Block |
---|
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="configuration.xsl"?>
<configuration>
<property>
<name>beeline.hs2.jdbc.url.tcpUrl</name>
<value>jdbc:hive2://localhost:10000/default</value>
</property>
<property>
<name>beeline.hs2.jdbc.url.httpUrl</name>
<value>jdbc:hive2://localhost:10000/default;transportMode=http;httpPath=cliservice</value>
</property>
<property>
<name>beeline.hs2.jdbc.url.default</name>
<value>tcpUrl</value>
</property>
</configuration> |
In the above example, simply typing beeline
opens a new JDBC connection to j
dbc:hive2://localhost:10000/default;user=hive;password=hive
. When the user types beeline -c httpUrl
, a connection is opened to jdbc:hive2://localhost:10000/default;transportMode=http;httpPath=cliservice;user=hive;password=hive
.
Using JDBC
You can use JDBC to access data stored in a relational database or other tabular format.
Load the HiveServer2 JDBC driver. As of 1.2.0 applications no longer need to explicitly load JDBC drivers using Class.forName().
For example:No Format Class.forName("org.apache.hive.jdbc.HiveDriver");
Connect to the database by creating a
Connection
object with the JDBC driver.
For example:No Format Connection cnct = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:hive2://<host>:<port>", "<user>", "<password>");
The default
<port>
is 10000. In non-secure configurations, specify a<user>
for the query to run as. The<password>
field value is ignored in non-secure mode.No Format Connection cnct = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:hive2://<host>:<port>", "<user>", "");
In Kerberos secure mode, the user information is based on the Kerberos credentials.
Submit SQL to the database by creating a
Statement
object and using itsexecuteQuery()
method.
For example:No Format Statement stmt = cnct.createStatement(); ResultSet rset = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT foo FROM bar");
- Process the result set, if necessary.
These steps are illustrated in the sample code below.

JDBC Client Setup for a Secure Cluster
When connecting to HiveServer2 with Kerberos authentication, the URL format is:
jdbc:hive2://<host>:<port>/<db>;principal=<Server_Principal_of_HiveServer2>
The client needs to have a valid Kerberos ticket in the ticket cache before connecting.
NOTE: If you don't have a "/" after the port number, the jdbc driver does not parse the hostname and ends up running HS2 in embedded mode . So if you are specifying a hostname, make sure you have a "/" or "/<dbname>" after the port number.
In the case of LDAP, CUSTOM or PAM authentication, the client needs to pass a valid user name and password to the JDBC connection API.
To use sasl.qop, add the following to the sessionconf part of your Hive JDBC hive connection string, e.g.
jdbc:hive://hostname/dbname;sasl.qop=auth-int
For more information, see Setting Up HiveServer2.
Multi-User Scenarios and Programmatic Login to Kerberos KDC
In the current approach of using Kerberos you need to have a valid Kerberos ticket in the ticket cache before connecting. This entails a static login (using kinit, key tab or ticketcache) and the restriction of one Kerberos user per client. These restrictions limit the usage in middleware systems and other multi-user scenarios, and in scenarios where the client wants to login programmatically to Kerberos KDC.
One way to mitigate the problem of multi-user scenarios is with secure proxy users (see HIVE-5155). Starting in Hive 0.13.0, support for secure proxy users has two components:
- Direct proxy access for privileged Hadoop users (HIVE-5155). This enables a privileged user to directly specify an alternate session user during the connection. If the connecting user has Hadoop level privilege to impersonate the requested userid, then HiveServer2 will run the session as that requested user.
- Delegation token based connection for Oozie (OOZIE-1457). This is the common mechanism for Hadoop ecosystem components.Proxy user privileges in the Hadoop ecosystem are associated with both user names and hosts. That is, the privilege is available for certain users from certain hosts. Delegation tokens in Hive are meant to be used if you are connecting from one authorized (blessed) machine and later you need to make a connection from another non-blessed machine. You get the delegation token from a blessed machine and connect using the delegation token from a non-blessed machine. The primary use case is Oozie, which gets a delegation token from the server machine and then gets another connection from a Hadoop task node.If you are only making a JDBC connection as a privileged user from a single blessed machine, then direct proxy access is the simpler approach. You can just pass the user you need to impersonate in the JDBC URL by using the hive.server2.proxy.user=<user> parameter.
See examples in ProxyAuthTest.java.
Support for delegation tokens with HiveServer2 binary transport mode hive.server2.transport.mode has been available starting 0.13.0; support for this feature with HTTP transport mode was added in HIVE-13169, which should be part of Hive 2.1.0.
The other way is to use a pre-authenticated Kerberos Subject (see HIVE-6486). In this method, starting with Hive 0.13.0 the Hive JDBC client can use a pre-authenticated subject to authenticate to HiveServer2. This enables a middleware system to run queries as the user running the client.
Using Kerberos with a Pre-Authenticated Subject
To use a pre-authenticated subject you will need the following changes.
- Add hive-exec*.jar to the classpath in addition to the regular Hive JDBC jars (commons-configuration-1.6.jar and hadoop-core*.jar are not required).
- Add auth=kerberos and kerberosAuthType=fromSubject JDBC URL properties in addition to having the “principal" url property.
- Open the connection in Subject.doAs().
The following code snippet illustrates the usage (refer to HIVE-6486 for a complete test case):
Code Block | ||
---|---|---|
| ||
static Connection getConnection( Subject signedOnUserSubject ) throws Exception{
Connection conn = (Connection) Subject.doAs(signedOnUserSubject, new PrivilegedExceptionAction<Object>()
{
public Object run()
{
Connection con = null;
String JDBC_DB_URL = "jdbc:hive2://HiveHost:10000/default;" ||
"principal=hive/localhost.localdomain@EXAMPLE.COM;" ||
"kerberosAuthType=fromSubject";
try {
Class.forName(JDBC_DRIVER);
con = DriverManager.getConnection(JDBC_DB_URL);
} catch (SQLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return con;
}
});
return conn;
} |
JDBC Fetch Size
Gives the JDBC driver a hint as to the number of rows that should be fetched from the database when more rows are needed by the client. The default value, used for every statement, can be specified through the JDBC connection string. This default value may subsequently be overwritten, per statement, with the JDBC API. If no value is specified within the JDBC connection string, then the default fetch size is retrieved from the HiveServer2 instance as part of the session initiation operation.
jdbc:hive2://<host>:<port>/<db>;fetchsize=<value>
Info | ||
---|---|---|
| ||
The Hive JDBC driver will receive a preferred fetch size from the instance of HiveServer2 it has connected to. This value is specified on the server by the hive.server2.thrift.resultset.default.fetch.size configuration. The JDBC fetch size is only a hint and the server will attempt to respect the client's requested fetch size though with some limits. HiveServer2 will cap all requests at a maximum value specified by the hive.server2.thrift.resultset.max.fetch.size configuration value regardless of the client's requested fetch size. While a larger fetch size may limit the number of round-trips between the client and server, it does so at the expense of additional memory requirements on the client and server. The default JDBC fetch size value may be overwritten, per statement, with the JDBC API:

Integration with SQuirrel SQL Client
- Download, install and start the SQuirrel SQL Client from the SQuirrel SQL website.
- Select 'Drivers -> New Driver...' to register Hive's JDBC driver that works with HiveServer2.
Enter the driver name and example URL:
Code Block language text Name: Hive Example URL: jdbc:hive2://localhost:10000/default
Select 'Extra Class Path -> Add' to add the following jars from your local Hive and Hadoop distribution.
Code Block HIVE_HOME/lib/hive-jdbc-*-standalone.jar HADOOP_HOME/share/hadoop/common/hadoop-common-*.jar
Info title Version information Hive JDBC standalone jars are used in Hive 0.14.0 onward (HIVE-538); for previous versions of Hive, use
HIVE_HOME/build/dist/lib/*.jar
instead.The hadoop-common jars are for Hadoop 2.0; for previous versions of Hadoop, use
HADOOP_HOME/hadoop-*-core.jar
instead.Select 'List Drivers'. This will cause SQuirrel to parse your jars for JDBC drivers and might take a few seconds. From the 'Class Name' input box select the Hive driver for working with HiveServer2:
Code Block org.apache.hive.jdbc.HiveDriver
Click 'OK' to complete the driver registration.
- Select 'Aliases -> Add Alias...' to create a connection alias to your HiveServer2 instance.
- Give the connection alias a name in the 'Name' input box.
- Select the Hive driver from the 'Driver' drop-down.
- Modify the example URL as needed to point to your HiveServer2 instance.
- Enter 'User Name' and 'Password' and click 'OK' to save the connection alias.
- To connect to HiveServer2, double-click the Hive alias and click 'Connect'.
When the connection is established you will see errors in the log console and might get a warning that the driver is not JDBC 3.0 compatible. These alerts are due to yet-to-be-implemented parts of the JDBC metadata API and can safely be ignored. To test the connection enter SHOW TABLES in the console and click the run icon.
Also note that when a query is running, support for the 'Cancel' button is not yet available.

Advanced Features for Integration with Other Tools
Supporting Cookie Replay in HTTP Mode
Info | ||
---|---|---|
| ||
This option is available starting in Hive 1.2.0. |
HIVE-9709 introduced support for the JDBC driver to enable cookie replay. This is turned on by default so that incoming cookies can be sent back to the server for authentication.
The JDBC connection URL when enabled should look like this:
jdbc:hive2://<host>:<port>/<db>?transportMode=http;httpPath=<http_endpoint>;cookieAuth=true;cookieName=<cookie_name>
- cookieAuth is set to
true
by default. - cookieName: If any of the incoming cookies' keys match the value of cookieName, the JDBC driver will not send any login credentials/Kerberos ticket to the server. The client will just send the cookie alone back to the server for authentication. The default value of cookieName is hive.server2.auth (this is the HiveServer2 cookie name).
- To turn off cookie replay, cookieAuth=false must be used in the JDBC URL.
- Important Note: As part of HIVE-9709, we upgraded Apache http-client and http-core components of Hive to 4.4. To avoid any collision between this upgraded version of HttpComponents and other any versions that might be present in your system (such as the one provided by Apache Hadoop 2.6 which uses http-client and http-core components version of 4.2.5), the client is expected to set CLASSPATH in such a way that Beeline-related jars appear before HADOOP lib jars. This is achieved via setting HADOOP_USER_CLASSPATH_FIRST=true before using hive-jdbc. In fact, in bin/beeline.sh we do this!
Using 2-way SSL in HTTP Mode
Info | ||
---|---|---|
| ||
This option is available starting in Hive 1.2.0. |
HIVE-10447 enabled the JDBC driver to support 2-way SSL in HTTP mode. Please note that HiveServer2 currently does not support 2-way SSL. So this feature is handy when there is an intermediate server such as Knox which requires client to support 2-way SSL.
JDBC connection URL:
jdbc:hive2://<host>:<port>/<db>;ssl=true;twoWay=true;
sslTrustStore=<trust_store_path>;trustStorePassword=<trust_store_password>;sslKeyStore=<key_store_path>;keyStorePassword=<key_store_password>;
transportMode=http;httpPath=<http_endpoint>
- <trust_store_path> is the path where the client's truststore file lives. This is a mandatory non-empty field.
- <trust_store_password> is the password to access the truststore.
- <key_store_path> is the path where the client's keystore file lives. This is a mandatory non-empty field.
- <key_store_password> is the password to access the keystore.
For versions earlier than 0.14, see the version note above.
In the environment where exposing trustStorePassword
and keyStorePassword
in the connection URL is a security concern, a new option storePasswordPath
is introduced with HIVE-27308 that can be used in URL instead of trustStorePassword
and keyStorePassword
. storePasswordPath
value hold the path to the local keystore file storing the trustStorePassword
and keyStorePassword
aliases. When the existing trustStorePassword
or keyStorePassword
is present in URL along with storePasswordPath
, respective password is directly obtained from password option. Otherwise, fetches the particular alias from local keystore file(i.e., existing password options are preferred over storePasswordPath
).
JDBC connection URL with storePasswordPath
:
jdbc:hive2://<host>:<port>/<db>;ssl=true;twoWay=true;
sslTrustStore=<trust_store_path>;sslKeyStore=<key_store_path>;storePasswordPath=store_password_path>;
transportMode=http;httpPath=<http_endpoint>
A local keystore file can be created leveraging hadoop credential command with trustStorePassword
and keyStorePassword
aliases like below. And this file can be passed with storePasswordPath
option in the connection URL.
hadoop credential create trustStorePassword -value mytruststorepassword -provider localjceks://file/tmp/client_creds.jceks
hadoop credential create keyStorePassword -value mykeystorepassword -provider localjceks://file/tmp/client_creds.jceks
Passing HTTP Header Key/Value Pairs via JDBC Driver
The other way is to use a pre-authenticated Kerberos Subject (see HIVE-6486). In this method, starting with Hive 0.13.0 the Hive JDBC client can use a pre-authenticated subject to authenticate to HiveServer2. This enables a middleware system to run queries as the user running the client.
Using Kerberos with a Pre-Authenticated Subject
To use a pre-authenticated subject you will need the following changes.
- Add hive-exec*.jar to the classpath in addition to the regular Hive JDBC jars (commons-configuration-1.6.jar and hadoop-core*.jar are not required).
- Add auth=kerberos and kerberosAuthType=fromSubject JDBC URL properties in addition to having the “principal" url property.
- Open the connection in Subject.doAs().
The following code snippet illustrates the usage (refer to HIVE-6486 for a complete test case):
Code Block | ||
---|---|---|
| ||
static Connection getConnection( Subject signedOnUserSubject ) throws Exception{
Connection conn = (Connection) Subject.doAs(signedOnUserSubject, new PrivilegedExceptionAction<Object>()
{
public Object run()
{
Connection con = null;
String JDBC_DB_URL = "jdbc:hive2://HiveHost:10000/default;" ||
"principal=hive/localhost.localdomain@EXAMPLE.COM;" ||
"kerberosAuthType=fromSubject";
try {
Class.forName(JDBC_DRIVER);
con = DriverManager.getConnection(JDBC_DB_URL);
} catch (SQLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return con;
}
});
return conn;
} |

Integration with SQuirrel SQL Client
- Download, install and start the SQuirrel SQL Client from the SQuirrel SQL website.
- Select 'Drivers -> New Driver...' to register Hive's JDBC driver that works with HiveServer2.
Enter the driver name and example URL:
Code Block language text Name: Hive Example URL: jdbc:hive2://localhost:10000/default
Select 'Extra Class Path -> Add' to add the following jars from your local Hive and Hadoop distribution.
Code Block HIVE_HOME/lib/hive-jdbc-*-standalone.jar HADOOP_HOME/share/hadoop/common/hadoop-common-*.jar
Info title Version information Hive JDBC standalone jars are used in Hive 0.14.0 onward (HIVE-538); for previous versions of Hive, use
HIVE_HOME/build/dist/lib/*.jar
instead.The hadoop-common jars are for Hadoop 2.0; for previous versions of Hadoop, use
HADOOP_HOME/hadoop-*-core.jar
instead.Select 'List Drivers'. This will cause SQuirrel to parse your jars for JDBC drivers and might take a few seconds. From the 'Class Name' input box select the Hive driver for working with HiveServer2:
Code Block org.apache.hive.jdbc.HiveDriver
Click 'OK' to complete the driver registration.
- Select 'Aliases -> Add Alias...' to create a connection alias to your HiveServer2 instance.
- Give the connection alias a name in the 'Name' input box.
- Select the Hive driver from the 'Driver' drop-down.
- Modify the example URL as needed to point to your HiveServer2 instance.
- Enter 'User Name' and 'Password' and click 'OK' to save the connection alias.
- To connect to HiveServer2, double-click the Hive alias and click 'Connect'.
When the connection is established you will see errors in the log console and might get a warning that the driver is not JDBC 3.0 compatible. These alerts are due to yet-to-be-implemented parts of the JDBC metadata API and can safely be ignored. To test the connection enter SHOW TABLES in the console and click the run icon.
Also note that when a query is running, support for the 'Cancel' button is not yet available.

When the above URL is specified, Beeline will call underlying requests to add an HTTP header set to <name1> and <value1> and another HTTP header set to <name2> and <value2>. This is helpful when the end user needs to send identity in an HTTP header down to intermediate servers such as Knox via Beeline for authentication, for example http.header.USERNAME=<value1>;http.header.PASSWORD=<value2>
