Thanks Rachna From: Rachna Jotwani Bakhru [mailto:rjotw...@dag.com] Sent: Thursday, October 15, 2015 6:25 PM To: user@hive.apache.org Subject: Hcatalog api - kerberos and knox 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://server1.example.com:9083”); hcatConf.setVar(HiveConf.ConfVars.METASTORE_KERBEROS_PRINCIPAL, “hive/_h...@example.com <mailto:hive/_h...@example.com> ”); hcatConf.setVar(HiveConf.ConfVars.METASTORE_KERBEROS_KEYTAB_FILE, “<local_path>/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.
