Connect to Phoenix Query Server

You can connect to Phoenix Query Server (PQS) using the JDBC thin client without using a gateway such as Apache Knox. You must use the JDBC URL syntax to form the URL and connect to PQS.

Ensure that you have access to Apache Phoenix and Apache HBase, and you have the required permissions configured in Ranger to connect to PQS.

Ensure that you have safely noted down your Kerberos principal and keytab information used to connect to PQS.

You can use the JDBC URL syntax to form the URL and connect to PQS.

To connect to the PQS directly, you must use the JDBC URL syntax as shown here: jdbc:phoenix:thin:[key=value[;key=value...]]

You must provide the correct URL, serialization, and authentication key-values to interact with the Phoenix Query Server. For more information about optional parameters, see Client Reference.

jdbc:phoenix:thin:url=http://localhost:8765;serialization=PROTOBUF; authentication=SPENGO;
principal=[***Prinicpal@EXAMPLE.com***];keytab=[***PATH TO THE KEYTAB FILE***]
