Getting Started With Hive JDBC

How to install JDBC driver

Kyuubi JDBC driver is fully compatible with the 2.3.* version of hive JDBC driver, so we reuse hive JDBC driver to connect to Kyuubi server.

Add repository to your maven configuration file which may reside in $MAVEN_HOME/conf/settings.xml.

<repositories>
  <repository>
    <id>central maven repo</id>
    <name>central maven repo https</name>
    <url>https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2</url>
  </repository>
<repositories>

You can add below dependency to your pom.xml file in your application.

<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.hive/hive-jdbc -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.hive</groupId>
    <artifactId>hive-jdbc</artifactId>
    <version>2.3.7</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.hadoop</groupId>
    <artifactId>hadoop-common</artifactId>
    <!-- keep consistent with the build hadoop version -->
    <version>2.7.4</version>
</dependency>

Use JDBC driver with kerberos

The below java code is using a keytab file to login and connect to Kyuubi server by JDBC.

package org.apache.kyuubi.examples;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.security.PrivilegedExceptionAction;
import java.sql.*;
import org.apache.hadoop.security.UserGroupInformation;
public class JDBCTest {
    private static String driverName = "org.apache.hive.jdbc.HiveDriver";
    private static String kyuubiJdbcUrl = "jdbc:hive2://localhost:10009/default;";
    public static void main(String[] args) throws ClassNotFoundException, SQLException {
        String principal = args[0]; // kerberos principal
        String keytab = args[1]; // keytab file location
        Configuration configuration = new Configuration();
        configuration.set(HADOOP_SECURITY_AUTHENTICATION, "kerberos");
        UserGroupInformation.setConfiguration(configuration);
        UserGroupInformation ugi = UserGroupInformation.loginUserFromKeytabAndReturnUGI(principal, keytab);
        Class.forName(driverName);
        Connection conn = ugi.doAs(new PrivilegedExceptionAction<Connection>(){
            public Connection run() throws SQLException {
                return DriverManager.getConnection(kyuubiJdbcUrl);
            }
        });
        Statement st = conn.createStatement();
        ResultSet res = st.executeQuery("show databases");
        while (res.next()) {
            System.out.println(res.getString(1));
        }
        res.close();
        st.close();
        conn.close();
    }
}
