Connect Hive through Java JDBC - hadoop

Question

There is a question here connect from java to Hive but mine is different
My hive running on machine1 and I need to pass some queries using Java server running at machine2. As I understand Hive has a JDBC interface for the purpose of receiving remote queries. I took the code from here - HiveServer2 Clients
I installed the dependencies written in the article:
hive-jdbc*.jar
hive-service*.jar
libfb303-0.9.0.jar
libthrift-0.9.0.jar
log4j-1.2.16.jar
slf4j-api-1.6.1.jar
slf4j-log4j12-1.6.1.jar
commons-logging-1.0.4.jar
However I got java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError error at compile time
Full Error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/hadoop/conf/Configuration
at org.apache.hive.jdbc.HiveConnection.createBinaryTransport(HiveConnection.java:393)
at org.apache.hive.jdbc.HiveConnection.openTransport(HiveConnection.java:187)
at org.apache.hive.jdbc.HiveConnection.<init>(HiveConnection.java:163)

at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(DriverManager.java:215)
at com.bidstalk.tools.RawLogsQuerySystem.HiveJdbcClient.main(HiveJdbcClient.java:25)
Another question at StackOverflow recommended to add Hadoop API dependencies in Maven - Hive Error
I don't understand why do I need hadoop API for a client to connect with Hive. Shouldn't JDBC driver be agnostic of the underlying query system? I just need to pass some SQL query?
Edit:
I am using Cloudera(5.3.1), I think I need to add CDH dependencies. Cloudera instance is running hadoop 2.5.0 and HiveServer2
But the servers are at machine 1. On machine the code should at least compile and I should have issues at runtime only!

Answer 1

In case if you didn't still solve this, I have given it a go.
And I needed the following dependencies for it to compile and run :
libthrift-0.9.0-cdh5-2.jar
httpclient-4.2.5.jar
httpcore-4.2.5.jar
commons-logging-1.1.3.jar
hive-common.jar
slf4j-api-1.7.5.jar
hive-metastore.jar
hive-service.jar
hadoop-common.jar
hive-jdbc.jar
guava-11.0.2.jar
The hive documentation is probably written against a older version/distribution.
Your exception is due to the missing hadoop-common jar, which has the org.apache.hadoop.conf.Configuration.
Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Getting the same error when trying to use hive-jdbc 1.2.1 against hive 0.13.
Comparing to the long list in other answers. Now we use these two:
hive-jdbc-1.2.1-standalone.jar
hadoop-common-2.7.1.jar
Another side note: you might get 'Required field 'client_protocol' is unset!' when using the latest jdbc against an older Hive. If so, change the jdbc version to 1.1.0:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.hive</groupId>
<artifactId>hive-jdbc</artifactId>
<version>1.1.0</version>
<classifier>standalone</classifier>
</dependency>

Answer 3

Answering my own question!
With some hit and trial, I have added following dependencies on my pom file and since then I am able to run code on both CHD 5.3.1 and 5.2.1 cluster.
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.hive</groupId>
<artifactId>hive-jdbc</artifactId>
<version>0.13.1-cdh5.3.1</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.thrift</groupId>
<artifactId>libthrift</artifactId>
<version>0.9.0</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.thrift</groupId>
<artifactId>libfb303</artifactId>
<version>0.9.0</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.hadoop</groupId>
<artifactId>hadoop-core</artifactId>
<version>2.5.0-mr1-cdh5.3.1</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.hadoop</groupId>
<artifactId>hadoop-common</artifactId>
<version>2.5.0-cdh5.3.1</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.hive</groupId>
<artifactId>hive-exec</artifactId>
<version>0.13.1-cdh5.3.1</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.hadoop</groupId>
<artifactId>hadoop-hdfs</artifactId>
<version>2.5.0-cdh5.3.1</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
Please note that some of these dependencies might not be required

Answer 4

For others wondering around about what exactly is required to execute remotely a HIVE query using java...
Java code
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import java.sql.Statement;
public class Runner
{
private static String driverName = "org.apache.hive.jdbc.HiveDriver";
public static void main(String[] args) throws SQLException {
try {
// Register driver and create driver instance
Class.forName(driverName);
} catch (ClassNotFoundException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
// get connection
System.out.println("before trying to connect");
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:hive2://[HOST IP]:10000/", "hive", "");
System.out.println("connected");
// create statement
Statement stmt = con.createStatement();
// execute statement
stmt.executeQuery("show tables");
con.close();
}
}
Together with the pom file with the only required dependencies..

I have faced the same issue with CDH5.4.1 version. I updated my POM file with the below code and it worked for me.
My Hadoop Version is Hadoop 2.6.0-cdh5.4.1 and Hive version is Hive 1.1.0-cdh5.4.1
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.hive</groupId>
<artifactId>hive-exec</artifactId>
<version>0.13.0</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.hive</groupId>
<artifactId>hive-jdbc</artifactId>
<version>0.13.0</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.thrift</groupId>
<artifactId>libthrift</artifactId>
<version>0.9.0</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.thrift</groupId>
<artifactId>libfb303</artifactId>
<version>0.9.0</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>commons-logging</groupId>
<artifactId>commons-logging</artifactId>
<version>1.1.3</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.hadoop</groupId>
<artifactId>hadoop-client</artifactId>
<version>2.6.0</version>
</dependency>
I have resolved with this POM update.

Seems like you are all working with cloudera, I found that the repo in maven looks old because if you go to their site, you can download their jdbc. https://www.cloudera.com/downloads/connectors/hive/jdbc/2-5-20.html
The driver seems to support more functionality than the one in hive. I notice that that they have addBatch implemented. I just wish they had these libraries in maven. Maybe someone can find where to get them from using maven.
