Hi, I do have troubles setting up the Hive client for PHP using Thrift. I have searched the web for hours, but I have only found one tutorial about this topic. Unfortunately this tutorial seems to be a little outdated. http://www.cultofgary.com/2009/02/24/making-php-talk-to-hive-through-thrift/
I have downloaded and installed Thrift using the following commands: > ./configure --without-ruby > make > make install Then I generated the thrift packages fb303, hive_metastore and hive_service as described in the tutorial. Running the PHP-example code lead to the following error: > php hiveClientTest.php PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_GLOBAL, expecting T_STRING in /movies/home/hadoop/HiveClient/packages/hive_metastore/hive_metastore_types.php on line 21 Here might be a bug in line 21, because a constant attribute named GLOBAL is defined there. "global" is a keyword in PHP, that's why it might by a bug, see http://php.net/manual/en/reserved.keywords.php. I fixed it by renaming the constant to _GLOBAL. I really don't know what side-effects might come up with this fix. Then I figured out that the Thrift package queryplan is missing. So I generated this one using the following commands and moved it into my php test environment. > cd /usr/local/hive/src/ql/src > thrift --gen php -I include if/queryplan.thrift Starting the Hive-Server using: > hive --service hiveserver & I am finally able to run my hiveClientTest.php, but I still get an error. FAILED: Hive Internal Error: java.lang.RuntimeException(Error while making MR scratch directory - check filesystem config (null)) java.lang.RuntimeException: Error while making MR scratch directory - check filesystem config (null) ... Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Wrong FS: hdfs://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8020/tmp/hive-hadoop/hive_2011-12-19_17-58-11_235_2846966944739419, expected: hdfs://servername.domain.com I tried to manage this using /etc/hosts, but it's not working. :-( Can anyone help me out here? And is my approach right? Or am I missing something? Have I done sth. wrong? Is there an step-by-step guide somewhere out there that I have missed?
