1. Hive/HCatalog

On the Hive Metastore machine, install the appropriate JDBC .jar file.
- For Oracle:
  1. Download the Oracle JDBC (OJDBC) driver from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/features/jdbc/index-091264.html.
    Select Oracle Database 11g Release 2 - ojdbc6.jar .
  2. Copy the .jar file to the Java share directory.
    cp ojdbc6.jar /usr/share/java
  3. Make sure the .jar file has the appropriate permissions - 644.
- For MySQL:
  1. Install the connector.
    RHEL/CentOS/Oracle Linux
    yum install mysql-connector-java-5.0.8-1
    SLES
    zypper install mysql-connector-java-5.0.8-1
  2. Confirm that the MySQL .jar file is in the Java share directory
    ls /usr/share/java/mysql-connector-java.jar
  3. Make sure the .jar file has the appropriate permissions - 644.
On the Ambari Server host, install the appropriate JDBC .jar file.
- For Oracle:
  1. Download the Oracle JDBC (OJDBC) driver from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/features/jdbc/index-091264.html.
    Select Oracle Database 11g Release 2 - ojdbc6.jar .
  2. Copy the .jar file to the Java share directory.
    cp ojdbc6.jar /var/lib/ambari-server/resources
  3. Make sure the .jar file has the appropriate permissions - 644.
- For MySQL:
  1. Download the mysql connector driver from the host on which you installed mysql-connector-java.
  2. Copy the .jar file to the Java share directory.
    cp mysql-connector-java.jar /var/lib/ambari-server/resources
  3. Make sure the .jar file has the appropriate permissions - 644.
Create a user for Hive and grant it permissions.
- For Oracle, create the Hive user and grant it database permissions.
```
# sqlplus sys/root as sysdba
SQL> CREATE USER $HIVEUSER IDENTIFIED BY $HIVEPASSWORD;
SQL> GRANT SELECT_CATALOG_ROLE TO $HIVEUSER;
SQL> GRANT CONNECT, RESOURCE TO  $HIVEUSER;                            
SQL> QUIT;
```
  Where $HIVEUSER is the Hive user name and $HIVEPASSWORD is the Hive user password.
- For MySQL, create the Hive user and grant it database permissions.
```
# mysql -u root -p
mysql> CREATE USER ‘$HIVEUSER’@’%’ IDENTIFIED BY ‘$HIVEPASSWORD’;
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO ‘$HIVEUSER’@’%’;
mysql> flush privileges;
```
  Where $HIVEUSER is the Hive user name and $HIVEPASSWORD is the Hive user password.
For Oracle only Load the Hive Metastore Schema.
- The Hive Metastore database schema must be pre-loaded into your Oracle database using the schema script.
```
sqlplus $HIVEUSER/$HIVEPASSWORD < hive-schema-0.12.0.oracle.sql
```
  The file hive-schema-0.12.0.oracle.sql is found in the /var/lib/ambari-server/resources/ directory of the Ambari Server machine, once you have completed the Set Up the Bits step in the install process.
