Hi, Not all jdbc calls are implemented. This would be one of them. I don't think anyone tried to use hibernate with hive before, probably because it's highly unlikely to work at this time since it will produce sql which might not be understood by hive. In most cases you want a pretty fine grain of control over the queries you send to hive (or any other dwh system) for performance reasons so I don't think it's something people are actively working on.
As an alternative you might want to look at the apache commons dbcp for connection pooling. We used it for a while but stopped using it because of some out of PermGen issues (which probably was unrelated). We combined this with Spring Templates to make using it pretty simple in our code.
