The following page says it does not support them. https://cwiki.apache.org/Hive/hiveodbc.html Hive Server is currently not thread safe The following page says that it was designed to support multiple connections. But there's no test coverage. https://cwiki.apache.org/Hive/hiveserver.html HiveServer is multithreaded and was designed to support multiple concurrent client connections. However, there is currently no test coverage for this scenario. If you want to play it safe we recommend running one HiveServer process per client connection. The following JIRA seems to imply that the hive server does support multiple concurrent connections. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-77 What's the official stance on this? supported or not supported? Are there any known issues with hive server's handling of multiple concurrent client connections? Thanks, Sumadhur
