snazzyfox opened a new issue #8933: URL: https://github.com/apache/airflow/issues/8933
**Apache Airflow version**: 1.10.10 (appears to also affect master) **What happened**: When airflow is installed with Hive support using `apache-airflow[hive]`, using HiveServer2Hook to run a query throws the following exception: ``` ... File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/airflow/hooks/hive_hooks.py", line 828, in get_conn database=schema or db.schema or 'default') File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pyhive/hive.py", line 94, in connect return Connection(*args, **kwargs) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pyhive/hive.py", line 152, in __init__ import sasl ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'sasl' ``` **What you expected to happen**: The error should not appear. **How to reproduce it**: Any minimal dag that uses HiveServer2Hook generates the error. Connection to a working Hive cluster is not required since the required dependencies are not installed **Probable Reason**: For `pyhive` to work with Hive, it should be installed as `pyhive[hive]`. The hive extra brings in the `sasl` package. This is not caught testing since tests run with all the dependencies, and the packages required by [`pyhive[hive]`](https://github.com/dropbox/PyHive/blob/master/setup.py#L47) happen to be also used for [`kerberos`](https://github.com/apache/airflow/blob/master/setup.py#L313). I know this will be a much bigger conversation, but maybe it's worth it to consider testing operators _only_ with the dependencies they're supposed to rely on? ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
