You can add a connection to a Hive database using ThoughtSpot DataFlow.

Follow these steps:

  1. Select Connections in the top navigation bar.

  2. In the Connections interface, select Add connection in the upper-right corner.

  3. In the Create Connection interface, select the Connection type.

  4. After you select the Hive Connection type, the rest of the connection properties appear.

    See Connection properties for details, defaults, and examples.

    Connection name

    Name your connection.

    Connection type

    Choose the Hive connection type.

    Specify zookeeper namespace as hiveserver2. This is the default value. Only when using Hiveserver2 HA.

    Host

    Specify the hostname or the IP address of the Hadoop system. Only when not using Hiveserver2 HA.

    Port

    Specify the port. Only when not using Hiveserver2 HA.

    Hive security authentication

    Specifies the type of security protocol to connect to the instance. Based on the type of security select the authentication type and provide details.

    User

    Specify the user to connect to Hive. This user must have data access privileges.

    DFS HA configured

    Specify if using High Availability for DFS.

    DFS name service

    Specify the logical name of the HDFS nameservice.

    DFS name node IDs

    Specify a comma-separated list of NameNode IDs. System uses this property to determine all NameNodes in the cluster. XML property name is dfs.ha.namenodes.dfs.nameservices.

    RPC address for namenode1

    Specify the fully-qualified RPC address for each listed NameNode. Defined as dfs.namenode.rpc-address.dfs.nameservices.name node ID 1. For DFS HA and Hadoop Extract only.

    RPC address for namenode2

    Specify the fully-qualified RPC address for each listed NameNode. Define as dfs.namenode.rpc-address.dfs.nameservices.name node ID 2.

    DFS host

    Specify the DFS hostname or the IP address.

    DFS port

    Specify the associated DFS port.

    Default DFS location

    Specify the location for the default source/target location.

    Temp DFS location

    Specify the location for creating temp directory.

    DFS security authentication

    Select the type of security being enabled.

    Hadoop RPC protection

    Hadoop cluster administrators control the quality of protection using the configuration parameter hadoop.rpc.protection.

    Hive principal

    Principal for authenticating hive services.

    User principal

    To authenticate via a key-tab you must have supporting key-tab file which is generated by Kerberos Admin and also requires the user principal associated with Key-tab (Configured while enabling Kerberos).

    User keytab

    To authenticate via a key-tab you must have supporting key-tab file which is generated by Kerberos Admin and also requires the user principal associated with Key-tab (Configured while enabling Kerberos).

    KDC host

    Specify KDC Host Name where as KDC (Kerberos Key Distribution Center) is a service that runs on a domain controller server role (Configured from Kerberos configuration-/etc/krb5.conf).

    Default realm

    A Kerberos realm is the domain over which a Kerberos authentication server has the authority to authenticate a user, host or service (Configured from Kerberos configuration-/etc/krb5.conf).

    Queue name

    Specify the queue name followed by a coma separated form in yarn.scheduler.capacity.root.queues. For Hadoop Extract only.

    YARN web UI port

    Yarn Providing web UI for yarn RM and by default 8088 in use. For Hadoop Extract only.

    Zookeeper quorum host

    Specify the value of hadoop.registry.zk.quorum from yarn-site.xml. Only when using Hiveserver2 HA.

    Yarn timeline webapp host

    Specify the ip address of yarn timeline service web application.

    Yarn timeline webapp port

    Specify the port associated with the yarn timeline service web application.

    Yarn timeline webapp version

    Specify the version associated with the yarn timeline service web application.

    JDBC options

    Specify the options associated with the JDBC URL.

  5. Select Create connection.
