How to Access Hive via Python?

Question

https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/HiveClient#HiveClient-Python appears to be outdated.

When I add this to /etc/profile:

export PYTHONP         


        

Answer 1

To connect using a username/password and specifying ports, the code looks like this:

from pyhive import presto

cursor = presto.connect(host='host.example.com',
                    port=8081,
                    username='USERNAME:PASSWORD').cursor()

sql = 'select * from table limit 10'

cursor.execute(sql)

print(cursor.fetchone())
print(cursor.fetchall())
