HIVE Installation

To install Apache Hive, you need to have Hadoop already installed because Hive runs on
top of Hadoop. Below are the steps to install Apache Hive:

Prerequisites

1. Install Java: Apache Hive requires Java, so you need to have it installed on your
system.

o To check if Java is installed, run:

o If it's not installed, you can install it:

sudo apt update

sudo apt install openjdk-8-jdk

2. Install Hadoop: Hive works with Hadoop, so you must have Hadoop installed
and configured. Make sure your Hadoop is set up and running.

Step-by-Step Installation of Apache Hive

1. Download Hive:

o Go to the official Apache Hive website (https://hive.apache.org/) and


download the latest stable version of Apache Hive.

o Alternatively, you can use the following command to download the latest
version (for example, Hive 3.1.2):

wget https://downloads.apache.org/hive/hive-3.1.2/apache-hive-3.1.2-bin.tar.gz

2. Extract the Hive Tarball:

o Extract the downloaded tarball:

tar -xvzf apache-hive-3.1.2-bin.tar.gz

3. Move Hive to a Directory:

o Move the extracted files to a directory of your choice (for example


/opt/hive):

sudo mv apache-hive-3.1.2-bin /opt/hive

4. Set Environment Variables:

o Set the HIVE_HOME environment variable to point to the Hive installation


directory.
o Add Hive to the PATH so that you can run Hive commands from anywhere.

Add the following lines to your ~/.bashrc (or ~/.bash_profile on macOS):

export HIVE_HOME=/opt/hive

export PATH=$HIVE_HOME/bin:$PATH

export HADOOP_HOME=/opt/hadoop # Adjust the path to your Hadoop installation

export CLASSPATH=$($HADOOP_HOME/bin/hadoop classpath)

After editing ~/.bashrc, run the following to apply the changes:

source ~/.bashrc

5. Configure Hive:

o In the $HIVE_HOME/conf directory, there are several configuration files.


You need to set up a few key configuration files:

o hive-site.xml: This is the main configuration file for Hive. Copy the
template file and modify it.

cp $HIVE_HOME/conf/hive-default.xml.template $HIVE_HOME/conf/hive-site.xml

o Modify hive-site.xml for your setup (e.g., setting the Metastore URI, HDFS
locations, etc.). Below is an example of the configurations you might need
to change:

<configuration>

<property>

<name>javax.jdo.option.ConnectionURL</name>

<value>jdbc:derby:;databaseName=/tmp/metastore_db;create=true</value>

<description>JDBC connect string for a JDO database</description>

</property>

<property>

<name>hive.metastore.uris</name>

<value>thrift://localhost:9083</value>

<description>URI for the remote metastore server</description>

</property>

<property>
<name>hive.metastore.warehouse.dir</name>

<value>/user/hive/warehouse</value>

<description>Directory for storing tables and partitions</description>

</property>

</configuration>

6. Initialize the Metastore Database:

o Before using Hive, initialize the metastore database. You can do this using
the following command:

schematool -initSchema -dbType derby

7. Start the HiveServer2 (optional, if using Hive in server mode):

o You can start the HiveServer2 to interact with Hive remotely. Run the
following command:

hive --service hiveserver2 &

8. Test Hive Installation:

o Start Hive by running the following:

hive

o If Hive starts successfully, you should be presented with the Hive


command line interface.

9. Start Using Hive:

o Once Hive is installed, you can create databases, tables, and run queries
using the Hive command-line interface.
