Hive Metastore Configuration

Apache Hive is a data warehouse infrastructure built on top of Hadoop for providing data summarization, query, and analysis. Hive gives an SQL-like interface to query data stored in various databases and file systems that integrate with Hadoop. The traditional SQL queries must be implemented in the MapReduce Java API to execute SQL applications and queries over a distributed data. Hive provides the necessary SQL abstraction to integrate SQL-like Queries (HiveQL) into the underlying Java API without the need to implement queries in the low-level Java API. Since most of the data warehousing application work with SQL based querying language, Hive supports easy portability of SQL-based application to Hadoop.
Pre Requirements
1) A machine with Ubuntu 14.04 LTS operating system
2) Apache Hadoop 2.6.4 pre installed (How to install Hadoop on Ubuntu 14.04)
3) Apache Hive 2.1.0 pre installed (How to Install Hive on Ubuntu 14.04)
Hive Metastore Configuration
There are 3 types of metastore configurations
1) Embedded Metastore - Derby Database (See, here)
2) Local Metastore - MySQL or Postgre Database (See, MySQL here)
3) Remote Metastore - MySQL or Postgre or Seerate Database (See, MySQL here)
You can set remote metastore uri in hive-site.xml file
hive-site.xml

<property>
   <name>hive.metastore.uris</name>
   <value>thrift://node1(or IP Address):9083</value>
   <description>IP address (or fully-qualified domain name) and port of the metastore host</description>
</property>

Apache Spark WordCount scala example

Apache Spark is an open source cluster computing framework. Originally developed at the University of California, Berkeley's AMPLab, the Spark codebase was later donated to the Apache Software Foundation, which has maintained it since. Spark provides an interface for programming entire clusters with implicit data parallelism and fault-tolerance. Pre Requirements 1) A machine with Ubuntu 14.04 LTS operating system 2) Apache Hadoop 2.6.4 pre installed ( How to install Hadoop on Ubuntu 14.04 ) 3) Apache Spark 1.6.1 pre installed ( How to install Spark on Ubuntu 14.04 ) Spark WordCount Scala Example Step 1 - Change the directory to /usr/local/spark/sbin. $ cd /usr/local/spark/sbin Step 2 - Start all spark daemons. $ ./start-all. sh Step 3 - The JPS (Java Virtual Machine Process Status Tool) tool is limited to reporting information on JVMs for which it has the access permissions. $ jp...

Hive hiveserver2 and Web UI usage

Hive hiveserver2 and Web UI usage HiveServer2 (HS2) is a server interface that enables remote clients to execute queries against Hive and retrieve the results (a more detailed intro here). The current implementation, based on Thrift RPC, is an improved version of HiveServer and supports multi-client concurrency and authentication. It is designed to provide better support for open API clients like JDBC and ODBC. Step 1 - Change the directory to /usr/local/hive/bin $ cd $HIVE_HOME/bin Step 2 - Start hiveserver2 daemon $ hiveserver2 OR $ hive --service hiveserver2 & Step 3 - You can browse to hiveserver2 web ui at following url http: //localhost:10002/hiveserver2.jsp Step 4 - You can see the hive logs in /tmp/hduser/hive. log To kill hiveserver2 daemon $ ps -ef | grep -i hiveserver2 $ kill - 9 29707 OR $ rm -rf /var/run/hive/hive...
