aidp-hive

Read or write Apache Hive from an AIDP notebook via the AIDP `aidataplatform` Spark format handler. Use when the user mentions Hive, HiveServer2, HS2, HCatalog, or has a Hive metastore host/port. Auth is host/port + user/password. Read-write.

# `aidp-hive` โ€” Apache Hive via AIDP `aidataplatform` ## When to use - User wants to read or write a Hive table from an AIDP notebook. - User mentions: "Hive", "HiveServer2", "HS2", "HCatalog", "Hive metastore", a Hive database/table name. ## When NOT to use - For Oracle Big Data Service (BDS) HiveServer2 with **Kerberos** auth via Spark JDBC โ†’ use a custom skill (we removed `aidp-bds-hive` from v0.4 scope; revisit if your customer needs Kerberos specifically). The current `aidp-hive` skill covers non-Kerberos Hive (LDAP / SASL-PLAIN / NoAuth) via the `aidataplatform` format handler. - For Iceberg-on-Hive-style metadata where data lives on `oci://` โ†’ [`aidp-iceberg`](../aidp-iceberg/SKILL.md). ## Prerequisites in the AIDP notebook 1. Helpers on `sys.path` (run `aidp-connectors-bootstrap` first). 2. Network: cluster must reach the HS2 host on the configured port (typically 10000). If your Hive lives in a customer VCN, ensure VCN peering is in place โ€” the cluster pod CIDR has no implicit route to user VCNs. 3. Env vars / OCI Vault secrets: - `HIVE_HOST` (HiveServer2 hostname) - `HIVE_PORT` (typically `10000`) - `HIVE_USER`, `HIVE_PASSWORD` - `HIVE_SCHEMA` (Hive database name) - `HIVE_TABLE` (Hive table name) ## Read ```python import os from oracle_ai_data_platform_connectors.aidataplatform import ( AIDP_FORMAT, aidataplatform_options, ) opts = aidataplatform_options( type="HIVE", host=os.environ["HIVE_HOST"], port=int(os.environ.get("HIVE_PORT", "10000")), user=os.environ["HIVE_USER"], password=os.environ["HIVE_PASSWORD"], schema=os.environ["HIVE_SCHEMA"], table=os.environ["HIVE_TABLE"], ) df = spark.read.format(AIDP_FORMAT).options(**opts).load() df.show(10) ``` ## Write ```python opts = aidataplatform_options( type="HIVE", host=os.environ["HIVE_HOST"], port=int(os.environ.get("HIVE_PORT", "10000")), user=os.environ["HIVE_USER"], password=os.environ["HIVE_PASSWORD"], schema=os.environ["HIVE_SCHEMA"], table=os.environ["HIVE_TARGET_TABLE"], extra={"write.mode": "APPEND"}, # CREATE | APPEND | OVERWRITE ) df.write.format(AIDP_FORMAT).options(**opts).save() ``` ## Pushdown SQL ```python opts = aidataplatform_options( type="HIVE", host=os.environ["HIVE_HOST"], port=int(os.environ.get("HIVE_PORT", "10000")), user=os.environ["HIVE_USER"], password=os.environ["HIVE_PASSWORD"], extra={ "pushdown.sql": ( "SELECT customer_id, SUM(amount) AS total " "FROM sales_db.transactions " "WHERE event_dt >= '2025-01-01' " "GROUP BY customer_id" ), }, ) df = spark.read.format(AIDP_FORMAT).options(**opts).load() df.show(10) ``` ## Gotchas - **No `database.name` option** โ€” Hive uses `schema` directly to identify the Hive database (e.g. `default`, `sales_db`). Don't pass `database_name`. - **Network reachability is the most common failure.** Smoke-test from the cluster: `socket.create_connection((host, port), timeout=8)`. If this fails, it's a network problem, not an auth problem โ€” VCN peering / NSG / DNS, in that order. - **No Kerberos on this skill.** This connector handler uses LDAP / SASL-PLAIN / NoAuth. If your Hive cluster only accepts Kerberos, you need a Spark-native JDBC path with a keytab (out of scope for v0.5 โ€” file an issue). - **Write modes** โ€” `CREATE` (fail if exists), `APPEND`, `OVERWRITE`. Default is `CREATE`. - **Partitioned tables.** When writing to a partitioned Hive table, `OVERWRITE` overwrites all partitions touched by the DataFrame's distinct partition keys; existing partitions not touched are preserved. ## References - Helper: [scripts/oracle_ai_data_platform_connectors/aidataplatform.py](../../scripts/oracle_ai_data_platform_connectors/aidataplatform.py) - Official sample: [oracle-samples/oracle-aidp-samples โ†’ `data-engineering/ingestion/Read_Write_External_Ecosystem_Connectors/Hive.ipynb`](https://github.com/oracle-samples/oracle-aidp-samples/blob/main/data-engineering/ingestion/Read_Write_External_Ecosystem_Connectors/Hive.ipynb)
