Connect to HiveServer2 with a kerberized JDBC client (Squirrel)

By Anonymous
Listen:
Squirrel work with kerberos, however, if you don't want kerberos then you don't need the JAVA_OPTS changes at the end. My colleague, Chris Conner, has created a maven project that pulls down all of the dependencies for a JDBC program:

https://github.com/cmconner156/hiveserver2-jdbc-kerberos

Note for kerberos environment, you need to kinit before using Squirrel. The above program handles kinit for you. If you are not using Kerberos and you want to use the above program, then comment out the following lines:

System.setProperty("java.security.auth.login.config","gss-jaas.conf");
System.setProperty("javax.security.auth.useSubjectCredsOnly","false");
System.setProperty("java.security.krb5.conf","krb5.conf");

Then make sure to change the jdbc URI to not have the principal. Also, it's worth mentioning that if you use kerberos, I did have some issues with differing java versions. So try matching your client's java version with the HS2 server.

Work with Squirrel

First create a new Driver:
  1. Click on Drivers on the side.
  2. Click the + button.
  3. Enter a Name.
  4. Enter the URL like the example: jdbc:hive2://<host>:<port>/<db>;principal=<princ>
  5. Enter the Driver name: org.apache.hive.jdbc.HiveDriver
Click on the Extra Class Path button and click Add and make sure to add the following Classes:

commons-configuration-1.6.jar
commons-logging-1.0.4.jar
guava-11.0.2.jar
hadoop-auth-2.0.0-cdh4.2.0.jar
hadoop-common-2.0.0-cdh4.2.0.jar
hadoop-core-2.0.0-mr1-cdh4.2.0.jar
hive-exec-0.10.0-cdh4.2.0.jar
hive-jdbc-0.10.0-cdh4.2.0.jar
hive-metastore-0.10.0-cdh4.2.0.jar
hive-service-0.10.0-cdh4.2.0.jar
hive-shims-0.10.0-cdh4.2.0.jar
libfb303-0.9.0.jar
libthrift-0.9.0.jar
log4j-1.2.16.jar
slf4j-api-1.6.4.jar
slf4j-log4j12-1.6.1.jar
Note, the classes can be changed every release, so please find out the one you have installed.
Click OK to save.

Now you need to edit the Squirrel start script. On OSX, as example, it is "/Applications/SQuirreLSQL.app/Contents/MacOS/squirrel-sql.sh", Linux like OS' should have this in /etc/squirrel - or elsewhere.

Now add the following line anywhere in the script above the actual JAVA_CMD line. Make sure to enter the correct Kerberos stuff:
export JAVA_OPTS="-Djava.security.krb5.realm=ALO.ALT -Djava.security.krb5.kdc=hadoop1.alo.alt"

Now edit the last line of that script, it is normally something like:
$JAVACMD -Xmx256m -cp "$CP" $MACOSX_SQUIRREL_PROPS -splash:"$SQUIRREL_SQL_HOME/icons/splash.jpg" net.sourceforge.squirrel_sql.client.Main --log-config-file "$UNIX_STYLE_HOME"/log4j.properties --squirrel-home "$UNIX_STYLE_HOME" $NATIVE_LAF_PROP $SCRIPT_ARGS

Change it to:

$JAVACMD -Xmx256m $JAVA_OPTS -cp "$CP" $MACOSX_SQUIRREL_PROPS -splash:"$SQUIRREL_SQL_HOME/icons/splash.jpg" net.sourceforge.squirrel_sql.client.Main --log-config-file "$UNIX_STYLE_HOME"/log4j.properties --squirrel-home "$UNIX_STYLE_HOME" $NATIVE_LAF_PROP $SCRIPT_ARGS

Notice I added the JAVA_OPTS.

Now you can add a new host and it should work correctly with kerberos.

Beyond Ctrl+F - Use LLM's For PDF Analysis

By
PDFs are everywhere, seemingly indestructible, and present in our daily lives at all thinkable and unthinkable positions. We've all got mountains of them, and even companies shouting about "digital transformation" haven't managed to escape their clutches. Now, I'm a product guy, not a document management guru. But I started thinking: if PDFs are omnipresent in our existence, why not throw some cutting-edge AI at the problem? Maybe Large Language Models (LLMs) and Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) could be the answer. Don't get me wrong, PDF search indexes like Solr exist, but they're basically glorified Ctrl+F. They point you to the right file, but don't actually help you understand what's in it. And sure, Microsoft Fabric's got some fancy PDF Q&A stuff, but it's a complex beast with a hefty price tag. That's why I decided to experiment with LLMs and RAG. My idea? An intelligent knowledge base built on top of our existing P...

Deal with corrupted messages in Apache Kafka

By
Under some strange circumstances, it can happen that a message in a Kafka topic is corrupted. This often happens when using 3rd party frameworks with Kafka. In addition, Kafka < 0.9 does not have a lock on Log.read() at the consumer read level, but does have a lock on Log.write(). This can lead to a rare race condition as described in KAKFA-2477 [1]. A likely log entry looks like this: ERROR Error processing message, stopping consumer: (kafka.tools.ConsoleConsumer$) kafka.message.InvalidMessageException: Message is corrupt (stored crc = xxxxxxxxxx, computed crc = yyyyyyyyyy Kafka-Tools Kafka stores the offset of each consumer in Zookeeper. To read the offsets, Kafka provides handy tools [2]. But you can also use zkCli.sh, at least to display the consumer and the stored offsets. First we need to find the consumer for a topic (> Kafka 0.9): bin/kafka-consumer-groups.sh --zookeeper management01:2181 --describe --group test Prior to Kafka 0.9, the only way to get this in...

What Makes You The Number 1 Product Manager?

By
Amazon often does this thing where they start with the customer instead of just coming up with a product and then trying to figure out how to sell it. They call it " working backwards. " This strategy totally works for any product decisions, but it's especially important when they're making something new. The Press Release Exercise When it comes to launching new stuff, product managers usually start by writing a press release for customers. This press release is all about their pain points, how current solutions fall short, and how the new product is going to crush it. If the benefits don't get customers excited, the product manager needs to keep tweaking the press release until it sounds super awesome. It's way easier and cheaper to make changes to a press release than it is to change the product itself. Here’s a template I use to describe a new service or product: Main heade r: The product name anyone directly understands, like “Ultra-compact power charger” ...
