Hi Madhu,
Welcome! I suggest subscribing to the dev@ mailing list and using the same
email address when sending to the list, to avoid your email being caught in
moderation.

It would be great to have a connector for Apache Hive. Keep in mind that
several folks have expressed interest in using and contributing this
connector. As far as I know, nobody is *actively* working on it, so you
should be good to go. Please use BEAM-1158 [1] to coordinate this work with
any other interested contributor.

Note that there are several different ways of connecting Beam and Hive. The
simplest one is to write HiveIO that which would run a Hive query and
process Hive's results in Beam. Another would be to use Beam within Hive to
compute the results of a Hive query. Finally, one could possibly write a
Hive-based DSL on top of a Beam SDK.

All of these approaches are valid and somewhat orthogonal one to another.
I'm assuming you are after the first one. If so, and if you plan to follow
already established patterns in other connectors, you don't necessarily
need a design document. Otherwise, please start with a design document. We
have linked a template in the Contribution Guide [2, 3].

Once again, welcome and let us know if we can help in any way!

Davor
