Hive installation on Windows 10

Hive Introduction

In reference to Hadoop and HBase outline as well installation over Windows environment,
already we have been talked and gone through the same in my previous post. We came to know
that Hadoop can perform only batch processing, and data will be accessed only in a sequential
manner. It does mean one has to search the entire data-set even for the simplest of jobs.

In such scenario, a huge data-set when processed results in another huge data set, which should
also be processed sequentially. At this point, a new solution is needed to access any point of
data in a single unit of time (random access). Here the HBase can store massive amounts of
data from terabytes to petabytes and allows fast random reads and writes that cannot be handled
by the Hadoop.

HBase is an open source non-relational (NoSQL) distributed column-oriented database that runs
on top of HDFS and real-time read/write access to those large data-sets. Initially, it was Google
Big Table, afterwards it was re-named as HBase and is primarily written in Java, designed to
provide quick random access to huge amounts of the data-set.

Next in this series, we will walk through Apache Hive, the Hive is a data warehouse infrastructure
work on Hadoop Distributed File System and MapReduce to encapsulate Big Data, and makes
querying and analyzing stress-free. In fact, it is an ETL tool for Hadoop ecosystem, enables
developers to write Hive Query Language (HQL) statements very similar to SQL statements.

Hive Installation

In brief, Hive is a data warehouse software project built on top of Hadoop, that facilitate reading,
writing, and managing large datasets residing in distributed storage using SQL. Honestly, before
moving ahead, it is essential to install Hadoop first, I am considering Hadoop is already installed,
if not, then go to my previous post how to install Hadoop on Windows environment.

I went through Hive (2.1.0) installation on top of Derby Metastore (10.12.1.1), though you can
use any stable version.

Download Hive 2.1.0

 https://archive.apache.org/dist/hive/hive-2.1.0/

Download Derby Metastore 10.12.1.1

 https://archive.apache.org/dist/db/derby/db-derby-10.12.1.1/

Download hive-site.xml

STEP - 1: Extract the Hive file

Extract file apache-hive-2.1.0-bin.tar.gz and place under "D:\Hive", you can use any preferred
location –

[1] You will get again a tar file post extraction –

[2] Go inside of apache-hive-2.1.0-bin.tar folder and extract again –

[3] Copy the leaf folder “apache-hive-2.1.0-bin” and move to the root folder "D:\Hive" and
removed all other files and folders –

STEP - 2: Extract the Derby file

Similar to Hive, extract file db-derby-10.12.1.1-bin.tar.gz and place under "D:\Derby", you can
use any preferred location –
STEP - 3: Moving hive-site.xml file

Drop the downloaded file “hive-site.xml” to hive configuration location “D:\Hive\apache-hive-

2.1.0-bin\conf”.

STEP - 4: Moving Derby libraries

Next, need to drop all derby library to hive library location –

[1] Move to library folder under derby location D:\Derby\db-derby-10.12.1.1-bin\lib.

[2] Select all and copy all libraries.

[3] Move to library folder under hive location D:\Hive\apache-hive-2.1.0-bin\lib.

[4] Drop all selected libraries here.

STEP - 5: Configure Environment variables

Set the path for the following Environment variables (User Variables) on windows 10 –
 HIVE_HOME - D:\Hive\apache-hive-2.1.0-bin
 HIVE_BIN - D:\Hive\apache-hive-2.1.0-bin\bin
 HIVE_LIB - D:\Hive\apache-hive-2.1.0-bin\lib
 DERBY_HOME - D:\Derby\db-derby-10.12.1.1-bin
 HADOOP_USER_CLASSPATH_FIRST - true

This PC - > Right Click - > Properties - > Advanced System Settings - > Advanced - >
Environment Variables
STEP - 6: Configure System variables

Next onward need to set System variables, including Hive bin directory path –

HADOOP_USER_CLASSPATH_FIRST - true
Variable: Path
Value:
1. D:\Hive\apache-hive-2.1.0-bin\bin
2. D:\Derby\db-derby-10.12.1.1-bin\bin

STEP - 7: Working with hive-site.xml

Now need to do a cross check with Hive configuration file for Derby details –
 hive-site.xml

[1] Edit file D:/Hive/apache-hive-2.1.0-bin/conf/hive-site.xml, paste below xml paragraph and

save this file.

<configuration>
<property>
<name>javax.jdo.option.ConnectionURL</name>
<value>jdbc:derby://localhost:1527/metastore_db;create=true</value>
<description>JDBC connect string for a JDBC metastore</description>
</property>
<property>
<name>javax.jdo.option.ConnectionDriverName</name>
<value>org.apache.derby.jdbc.ClientDriver</value>
<description>Driver class name for a JDBC metastore</description>
</property>
<property>
<name>hive.server2.enable.impersonation</name>
<description>Enable user impersonation for HiveServer2</description>
<value>true</value>
</property>
<property>
<name>hive.server2.authentication</name>
 <value>NONE</value>
<description> Client authentication types. NONE: no authentication check LDAP: LDAP/AD
based authentication KERBEROS: Kerberos/GSSAPI authentication CUSTOM: Custom
authentication provider (Use with property hive.server2.custom.authentication.class)
</description>
</property>
<property>
<name>datanucleus.autoCreateTables</name>
<value>True</value>
</property>
</configuration>

STEP - 8: Start the Hadoop

Here need to start Hadoop first -

Open command prompt and change directory to “D:\Hadoop\hadoop-2.8.0\sbin" and type "start-
all.cmd" to start apache.

It will open four instances of cmd for following tasks –

 Hadoop Datanaode
 Hadoop Namenode
 Yarn Nodemanager
 Yarn Resourcemanager
It can be verified via browser also as –
 Namenode (hdfs) - http://localhost:50070
 Datanode - http://localhost:50075
 All Applications (cluster) - http://localhost:8088 etc.

Since the ‘start-all.cmd’ command has been deprecated so you can use below command in order
wise -
 “start-dfs.cmd” and
 “start-yarn.cmd”

STEP - 9: Start Derby server

Post successful execution of Hadoop, change directory to “D:\Derby\db-derby-10.12.1.1-bin\bin”

and type “startNetworkServer -h 0.0.0.0” to start derby server.
STEP - 10: Start the Hive

Derby server has been started and ready to accept connection so open a new command prompt
under administrator privileges and move to hive directory as “D:\Hive\apache-hive-2.1.0-bin\bin”
–

[1] Type “jps -m” to check NetworkServerControl

[2] Type “hive” to execute hive server.

Congratulations, Hive installed !! 😊

STEP-11: Some hands on activities

[1] Create Database in Hive -

CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS TRAINING;

[2] Show Database -

SHOW DATABASES;

[3] Creating Hive Tables -

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS testhive(col1 char(10), col2 char(20));
[4] DESCRIBE Table Command in Hive -
Describe Students

[5] Usage of LOAD Command for Inserting Data Into Hive Tables
Create a sample text file using ‘|’ delimiter –
[6] Hive Select Data from Table -
SELECT * FROM STUDENTS;
