Create an Apache Hive connection

To access your data stored on an Apache Hive database, you will need to know the server and database name that you want to connect to, and you must have access credentials. Once you have created a connection to an Apache Hive database, you can select data from the available tables and then load that data into your app or document.

In Qlik Sense, you connect to an Apache Hive database through the Add data dialog or the Data load editor.

In QlikView you connect to an Apache Hive database through the Edit Script dialog.

Setting up the database properties

Authenticating the driver

Qlik Sense: Apache Hive authentication properties

Authentication properties that can be configured
Property	Description	Required
Mechanism	Select Single Sign-On, User Name and Password, User Name, or allow connection with No Authentication. Note: When a connection is created or edited with Single Sign-On selected, the connection uses the credentials of the user who is currently logged into Qlik Sense. If a user ID is specified for the Delegation UID property, then the connection is tested with the user ID specified in the Delegation UID property and the password for the Delegation UID. Any time the connection properties are changed, the password for the Delegation UID must be reentered to test or save the changes to the connection.	Yes
Kerberos FQDN	The fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the Kerberos authentication server.	Yes, when Single Sign-On is selected.
Kerberos Realm	The name of the Kerberos realm, which is the set of managed nodes that share the same Kerberos database.	Yes, when Single Sign-On is selected.
KrbServiceName	The Kerberos service principal name (SPN) of the Apache Hive server.	Yes, when Single Sign-On is selected.
SSO user name format	Select the format of the single sign-on (SSO) user name that is used when the name is passed to the Apache Hive server. This setting applies to the SSO user and the Delegation UID. QlikID (domain\username) UPN (username@domain.com) username	Yes, when Single Sign-On is selected.
SSO user name casing	Select the case sensitivity for the single sign-on (SSO) user name that is used when the name is passed to the Apache Hive server. This setting applies to the SSO user and the Delegation UID. Case sensitive Upper case Lower case	Yes, when Single Sign-On is selected.
Delegation UID	The user ID to use for scheduled, automatic reloads. If a Delegation UID is specified, user password is required each time a connection is created or edited, to verify the access to delegation credentials. The ID must be entered in the format domain\username. Note: Manual reloads always use the ID of the user who is logged into Qlik Sense, not the Delegation UID.	No, but the ID can be provided when Single Sign-On is selected. Note: Because scheduled reloads are performed under a system account instead of a real user, Single Sign-On may not be necessary. The scheduled reloads can be performed using predefined NTLM authentication.
User name	User name for the Apache Hive connection.	Yes, when User Name and Password or User Name is selected.
Password	Password for the Apache Hive connection. Note: When Single Sign-On is selected, the password is for the user identified with the Delegation UID property. If a user is not specified in the Delegation UID property, then the Password property must be left blank for single sign-on (SSO).	Yes, when User Name and Password is selected.
Name	Name of the Apache Hive connection. The default name will be used if you do not enter a name.	Yes
