DB Connect 3 Hive Connection

[jamesmarlowww]

Hey,

We are trying to connect "DB connect 3" to our Hive DB. Unfortunately I'm running into some issues.

I have followed the instructions from this link, but I am still facing issues: https://www.splunk.com/blog/2015/02/25/splunk-db-connect-cloudera-hive-jdbc-connector.html

Our Hive instance is on version 1.2.1. I am attempting to use both the Hive 1.2.1 and 2.5.6 JDBC drivers, I get the same error from both sets of drivers.

The JDBC URL I'm using
jdbc:hive2://{IP}:{Port}/default

The errror - I have looked through the Jar file and this Class is in there
io.dropwizard.jersey.errors.LoggingExceptionMapper - Error handling a request: d5f34034d981f17d
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class com.cloudera.hive.hive.core.Hive2JDBCDriver

My config entry in db_connection_types.conf
- attempt using different jar hive-jdbc-1.2.1.jar\org\apache\hive\jdbc\HiveDriver
[hive3]
displayName = Hive Server 3
jdbcDriverClass = org.apache.hive.jdbc.HiveDriver
defaultPort = 10001
connectionUrlFormat = jdbc:hive2://{0}:{1}/{2}
defaultSchema = default
defaultCatalogName = default

*Attempt using HiveJDBC4.jar *
[hive4]
displayName = Hive Server 4
dbcDriverClass = com.cloudera.hive.jdbc4.HS1Driver
defaultPort = 10001
connectionUrlFormat = jdbc:hive2://{0}:{1}/{2}
defaultSchema = default
defaultCatalogName = default

Thanks

James

Hi James, Can you share what your driver directory looks like?
What files you have under the directory /opt/splunk/etc/apps/splunk_app_db_connect/driver ?

1)
Based on this: http://www.cloudera.com/documentation/other/connectors/hive-jdbc/2-5-6/Cloudera-JDBC-Driver-for-Apac...
It looks like Hive version 1.2.1 is not supported.

2)
For DBX 3, It looks like you are missing a directory.
Normally I see: only one jar under /opt/splunk/etc/apps/splunk_app_db_connect/driver
For example hive-jdbc-1.2.1.jar
And under this sub directory you will put all the rest of the supporting jar files
/opt/splunk/etc/apps/splunk_app_db_connect/driver/hive-jdbc-1.2.1-lib

3)
See the setup for Spark and Teradata
