Splunk DB Connect 3 how to connect Hive?

[tbadman]

I am trying to get DB Connect 3 to recognize my Hive driver and can't get it to cooperate.

I have downloaded Hive JDBC Driver 2.5.19 from here and extracted it into the drivers directory of the DB Connect app so the structure looks like:

$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/splunk_app_db_connect/drivers/HiveJDBC41.jar $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/splunk_app_db_connect/drivers/HiveJDBC41-libs/commons-codec-1.3.jar $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/splunk_app_db_connect/drivers/HiveJDBC41-libs/commons-logging-1.1.1.jar $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/splunk_app_db_connect/drivers/HiveJDBC41-libs/hive_metastore.jar $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/splunk_app_db_connect/drivers/HiveJDBC41-libs/hive_service.jar $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/splunk_app_db_connect/drivers/HiveJDBC41-libs/httpclient-4.1.3.jar $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/splunk_app_db_connect/drivers/HiveJDBC41-libs/httpcore-4.1.3.jar $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/splunk_app_db_connect/drivers/HiveJDBC41-libs/libfb303-0.9.0.jar $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/splunk_app_db_connect/drivers/HiveJDBC41-libs/libthrift-0.9.0.jar $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/splunk_app_db_connect/drivers/HiveJDBC41-libs/log4j-1.2.14.jar $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/splunk_app_db_connect/drivers/HiveJDBC41-libs/ql.jar $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/splunk_app_db_connect/drivers/HiveJDBC41-libs/slf4j-api-1.5.11.jar $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/splunk_app_db_connect/drivers/HiveJDBC41-libs/slf4j-log4j12-1.5.11.jar $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/splunk_app_db_connect/drivers/HiveJDBC41-libs/TCLIServiceClient.jar $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/splunk_app_db_connect/drivers/HiveJDBC41-libs/zookeeper-3.4.6.jar

But when I reload the drivers page in DB Connect, Hive is still an unrecognized driver... any help would be great!

Hello did you get this to work?

[amielke]

the HiveJDBC driver must fill out in a stanza in the db_connect_types.conf like this:

1 [hive]
2 displayName = Hive
3 serviceClass = com.splunk.dbx2.SparkJDBC
4 jdbcUrlFormat = jdbc:hive2://<host>:<port>/<database>
5 jdbcUrlSSLFormat = jdbc:hive2://<host>:<port>/<database>?useSSL=true
6 jdbcDriverClass = com.simba.hive.jdbc41.HS2Driver
7 supportedVersions = 1.0
8 port = 10000
9 ui_default_catalog = $database$
10 connection_properties = {"verifyServerCertificate":"false"}

You must know the right jdbcDriverClass in line 6!
