Apache Hive 3.1.1 Installation on Windows 10 using Windows Subsystem for Linux

Previously, I demonstrated how to configured Apache Hive 3.0.0 on Windows 10.

• Apache Hive 3.0.0 Installation on Windows 10 Step by Step Guide

On this page, I’m going to show you how to install the latest version Apache Hive 3.1.1 on Windows 10 using Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) Ubuntu distro.

Prerequisites

Follow either of the following pages to install WSL in a system or non-system drive on your Windows 10.

• Install Windows Subsystem for Linux on a Non-System Drive
• Install Hadoop 3.2.0 on Windows 10 using Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)

Please also install Hadoop 3.2.0 on your WSL following the second page.

Now let’s start to install Apache Hive 3.1.1 in WSL.

Download binary package

Select a package from the download page:

https://hive.apache.org/downloads.html

For me, the recommended location is: http://www.strategylions.com.au/mirror/hive/hive-3.1.1/apache-hive-3.1.1-bin.tar.gz

In WSL bash terminal, run the following command to download the package:

wget http://www.strategylions.com.au/mirror/hive/hive-3.1.1/apache-hive-3.1.1-bin.tar.gz

Unzip binary package

If you have configured Hadoop 3.2.0 successfully, there should be one hadoop folder existing in your home folder already:

$ ls -lt
total 611896
drwxrwxrwx 1 tangr tangr      4096 May 16 00:32 dfs
drwxrwxrwx 1 tangr tangr      4096 May 15 23:48 hadoop
-rw-rw-rw- 1 tangr tangr  345625475 Jan 22 02:15 hadoop-3.2.0.tar.gz
-rw-rw-rw- 1 tangr tangr 280944629 Nov  1  2018 apache-hive-3.1.1-bin.tar.gz

Now unzip Hive package using the following command:

tar -xvzf apache-hive-3.1.1-bin.tar.gz -C ~/hadoop

In the hadoop folder there are now two subfolders:

$ ls ~/hadoop
apache-hive-3.1.1-bin  hadoop-3.2.0

Setup environment variables

In the prerequisites sections, we’ve already configured some environment variables like the following:

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-amd64
export HADOOP_HOME=/home/tangr/hadoop/hadoop-3.2.0
export PATH=$PATH:$HADOOP_HOME/bin

*Note: your user name can be different.

Let’s run the following command to add Hive required environment variables into .bashrc file too:

vi ~/.bashrc

Add the following lines to the end of the file:

export HIVE_HOME=/home/tangr/hadoop/apache-hive-3.1.1-bin
export PATH=$HIVE_HOME/bin:$PATH

Change the highlighted user name to your own one.

Run the following command to source the variables:

source ~/.bashrc

Verify the environment variables:

echo $HIVE_HOME
/home/tangr/hadoop/apache-hive-3.1.1-bin

Setup Hive HDFS folders

Start your Hadoop services (if you have not done that) by running the following command:

$HADOOP_HOME/sbin/start-all.sh

In WSL, you may need to restart you ssh services if ssh doesn’t work:

localhost: ssh: connect to host localhost port 22: Connection refused

To restart the services, run the following command:

sudo service ssh restart

Run the following command (jps) to make sure all the services are running successfully.

$ jps
2306 NameNode
2786 SecondaryNameNode
3235 NodeManager
3577 Jps
2491 DataNode
3039 ResourceManager

As you can see, all the services are running successfully in my WSL.

Now let’s setup the HDFS folders for Hive.

Run the following commands:

hadoop fs -mkdir /tmp 
hadoop fs -mkdir -p /user/hive/warehouse 
hadoop fs -chmod g+w /tmp 
hadoop fs -chmod g+w /user/hive/warehouse

Configure Hive metastore

Now we need to run schematool to setup metastore for Hive. The command syntax looks like the following:

$HIVE_HOME/bin/schematool -dbType <db type> -initSchema

For argument dbType, it can be any of the following values:

derby|mysql|postgres|oracle|mssql

By default, Apache Derby will be used. However it is a standalone database and can only be used for one connection concurrently.

So now you have two options:

• Option 1 (highly-recommended): Initialize using a remote database. For my scenario, I will use a SQL Server database as remote store. For more details, please follow this page to setup a remote database as datastore: Configure a SQL Server Database as Remote Hive Metastore.
• Option 2: Initialize using Derby by running the following command:

$HIVE_HOME/bin/schematool -dbType derby -initSchema

Configure Hive API authentication

Add the following section to $HIVE_HOME/conf/hive-site.xml file:

<property>
    <name>hive.metastore.event.db.notification.api.auth</name>
     <value>false</value>
     <description>
       Should metastore do authorization against database notification related APIs such as get_next_notification.
       If set to true, then only the superusers in proxy settings have the permission
     </description>
   </property>

And then update Hadoop core-site.xml configuration file to add the following configurations:

<property>
      <name>hadoop.proxyuser.tangr.hosts</name>
      <value>*</value>
</property>
<property>
      <name>hadoop.proxyuser.tangr.groups</name>
      <value>*</value>
</property>

Replace the highlighted user name to your own user name.

Now all the configurations are done.

Start HiveServer2 service

Run the command below to start the HiveServer2 service:

$HIVE_HOME/bin/hive --service metastore &
$HIVE_HOME/bin/hive --service hiveserver2 &

Wait until you can open HiveServer2 Web UI:  http://localhost:10002/.
