I have a CDH 5.3 instance. I start the hive-server2 by first starting the hive-metastore and then the hive-server from command line. After this I use beeline to connect to my
Hive Connecting to beeline from client having various Modes.
1.Embedded Mode: Both Server and Client runs in same machine. No TCP Connection required.
If hive.server2.authentication is "NONE" in HIVE_HOME/conf/hive-site.xml then connect beeline with below url
Connection URL:
!connect jdbc:hive2://
2. Remote Mode: It supports multiple clients to execute queries with help of following Authentication schemes.
Authentication Schemes:
i.)SASL Authentication:
If value of "hive.server2.authentication" property in HIVE_HOME/conf/hive-site.xml to be set as "SASL" then connect hive beeline with below url
Beeline URL:
!connect jdbc:hive2://<host>:<port>/<db>
ii.)NOSASL Authentication:
If "hive.server2.authentication" is nosasl then connect the beeline like below.
Beeline URL:
!connect jdbc:hive2://<host>:<port>/<db>;auth=noSasl
Hope this really helps you
