I have a java application which reads hive metadata using hcatalog apis. If I need to read metadata from a hive database on a cluster with Kerberos and knox, would the following configuration work? HiveConf hcatConf = new HiveConf(); hcatConf.setVar(HiveConf.ConfVars.METASTOREURIS, “thrift://server:9083”); hcatConf.setVar(HiveConf.ConfVars.METASTORE_KERBEROS_PRINCIPAL, “hive/_h...@your-realm.com”); hcatConf.setVar(HiveConf.ConfVars.METASTORE_KERBEROS_KEYTAB_FILE, “hive.keytab”); hcatConf.setVar(HiveConf.ConfVars.METASTORE_USE_THRIFT_SASL, “true”);
HCatClient hcatClient = HCatClient.create(new Configuration(hcatConf)); I will be running the Java program from a remote windows machine.
