What library should I use if I want to make persistent connections from within
Scala/Java? I’m working on a web service that sends Hive queries to our
HiveServer (we are about to upgrade to Hive 1.1 with Hive Server 2). Right now
I’m using the Hive Driver for JDBC but that does not have the capabilities we
need. I found this document detailing creating a new Hive Server 2 Thrift API
(https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/HiveServer2+Thrift+API
<https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/HiveServer2+Thrift+API>)
but it is just a design document. Has this been implemented?
There’s also the org.apache.Hive.JDBC package, but it doesn’t seem to be well
documented, and I can’t tell if it’s the same thing but with a different name.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
