How to connect to hive using python pyhs2?

Question

I am trying to access hive using pyhs2. I tried the following code:

example.py

import pyhs2
conn = pyhs2.connect(host=\'localhost\', port=10         


        

Answer 1

1- Figure out the IP address of the localhost using (on Linux):

hostname -I

2- Change localhost to the actual ip

I would also suggest that you double check which host Hive is on. If you are using hortonworks, on Ambari, go to Hive, then Configs and check the host there.

Edit (adding another suggestion):

Your username and password most likely aren't None. To get your username and password, check hive-site.xml and look at the values in javax.jdo.option.ConnectionUserName and javax.jdo.option.ConnectionPassword. If you can't find anything, try an empty string as the password (as opposed to None), and hive or empty string as the username i.e. try these one by one:

conn = pyhs2.connect(host='localhost', port=10000,authMechanism='PLAIN', user='hive', password='',database='default')

conn = pyhs2.connect(host='localhost', port=10000,authMechanism='PLAIN', user='', password='',database='default')

Note that I also changed authMechanism to "PLAIN"
