Question

Answer 1

By using Python Client Driver

pip install pyhs2

Then

import pyhs2

with pyhs2.connect(host='localhost',
               port=10000,
               authMechanism="PLAIN",
               user='root',
               password='test',
               database='default') as conn:
with conn.cursor() as cur:
    #Show databases
    print cur.getDatabases()

    #Execute query
    cur.execute("select * from table")

    #Return column info from query
    print cur.getSchema()

    #Fetch table results
    for i in cur.fetch():
        print i
