Some of my cents: usually Kylin runs on a Hadoop client node (or say edge node). You just need install Hadoop/Hive/HBase client binary and jars with the proper *-site.xml files (core-site.xml, yarn-site.xml, hive-site.xml, hbase-site.xml) there. Then Kylin will try to locate these configurations and then connect to the cluster. There is no additional API call needed, all are standard ways.
