Using Hive with Oracle

« Prev

To set up Oracle for use with Hive:

On the Ambari Server host, stage the appropriate JDBC driver file for later deployment.
1. Download the Oracle JDBC (OJDBC) driver from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/features/jdbc/index-091264.html.
2. For Oracle Database 11g: select Oracle Database 11g Release 2 drivers > ojdbc6.jar.
3. For Oracle Database 12c: select Oracle Database 12c Release 1 drivers > ojdbc7.jar.
4. Make sure the .jar file has the appropriate permissions. For example:
  chmod 644 ojdbc7.jar
5. Execute the following command, adding the path to the downloaded .jar file:
  ambari-server setup --jdbc-db=oracle --jdbc-driver=/path/to/downloaded/ojdbc7.jar
Create a user for Hive and grant it permissions.
- Using the Oracle database admin utility:
  # sqlplus sys/root as sysdba
  CREATE USER <HIVEUSER> IDENTIFIED BY <HIVEPASSWORD>;
  GRANT SELECT_CATALOG_ROLE TO <HIVEUSER>;
  GRANT CONNECT, RESOURCE TO <HIVEUSER>;
  QUIT;
- Where <HIVEUSER> is the Hive user name and <HIVEPASSWORD> is the Hive user password.
Load the Hive database schema.
- For HDP 2.2 or later Stacks
  Important
  Ambari sets up the Hive Metastore database schema automatically.
  You do not need to pre-load the Hive Metastore database schema into your Oracle database for a HDP 2.2 Stack.
- For a HDP 2.1 Stack
  You must pre-load the Hive database schema into your Oracle database using the schema script, as follows: sqlplus <HIVEUSER>/<HIVEPASSWORD> < hive-schema-0.13.0.oracle.sql
  Find the hive-schema-0.13.0.oracle.sql file in the /var/lib/ambari-server/resources/stacks/HDP/2.1/services/HIVE/etc/ directory of the Ambari Server host after you have installed Ambari Server.
- For a HDP 2.0 Stack
  You must pre-load the Hive database schema into your Oracle database using the schema script, as follows: sqlplus <HIVEUSER>/<HIVEPASSWORD> < hive-schema-0.12.0.oracle.sql
  Find the hive-schema-0.12.0.oracle.sql file in the /var/lib/ambari-server/resources/stacks/HDP/2.0.6/services/HIVE/etc/ directory of the Ambari Server host after you have installed Ambari Server.
- For a HDP 1.3 Stack
  You must pre-load the Hive database schema into your Oracle database using the schema script, as follows: sqlplus <HIVEUSER>/<HIVEPASSWORD> < hive-schema-0.10.0.oracle.sql
  Find the hive-schema-0.10.0.oracle.sql file in the /var/lib/ambari-server/resources/stacks/HDP/1.3.2/services/HIVE/etc/ directory of the Ambari Server host after you have installed Ambari Server.
