# Hive ## Overview Hive is a data platform used to store and query analytical or operational data. Learn more in the [official Hive documentation](https://hive.apache.org/). The DataHub integration for Hive covers core metadata entities such as datasets/tables/views, schema fields, and containers. It also captures table- and column-level lineage and stateful deletion detection. ## Concept Mapping While the specific concept mapping is still pending, this shows the generic concept mapping in DataHub. | Source Concept | DataHub Concept | Notes | | -------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- | | Platform/account/project scope | Platform Instance, Container | Organizes assets within the platform context. | | Core technical asset (for example table/view/topic/file) | Dataset | Primary ingested technical asset. | | Schema fields / columns | SchemaField | Included when schema extraction is supported. | | Ownership and collaboration principals | CorpUser, CorpGroup | Emitted by modules that support ownership and identity metadata. | | Dependencies and processing relationships | Lineage edges | Available when lineage extraction is supported and enabled. | ## Module `hive` ![GA](https://img.shields.io/badge/support%20status-GA-brightgreen) ### Important Capabilities | Capability | Status | Notes | | ---------- | ------ | ----- | | Asset Containers | ✅ | Enabled by default. Supported for types - Database, Schema. | | Column-level Lineage | ✅ | Enabled by default for views via `include_view_column_lineage`, and to storage via `include_column_lineage` when storage lineage is enabled.

Supported for types - Table, View. | | Test Connection | ✅ | Enabled by default. | ### Overview The `hive` module ingests metadata from Hive into DataHub. It is intended for production ingestion workflows and module-specific capabilities are documented below. This plugin extracts the following: - Metadata for databases, schemas, and tables - Column types associated with each table - Detailed table and storage information - Table, row, and column statistics via optional SQL profiling. #### Related Documentation - [Hive Source Configuration](https://github.com/datahub-project/datahub/blob/master/docs/generated/ingestion/sources/hive_recipe.yml) - Configuration examples - [Hive Metastore Connector](https://github.com/datahub-project/datahub/blob/master/docs/generated/ingestion/hive-metastore) - Alternative connector for direct metastore access - [PyHive Documentation](https://github.com/dropbox/PyHive) - Underlying connection library ### Prerequisites 1. **Network Access**: Access to HiveServer2 on port 10000 (or 10001 for TLS) 2. **User Account**: Hive user with read permissions on target databases and tables 3. **Dependencies**: Install PyHive connectivity: ```bash pip install 'acryl-datahub[hive]' ``` #### Required Permissions The Hive user account used by DataHub needs the following permissions: ##### Minimum Permissions (Metadata Only) ```sql -- Grant SELECT on all databases you want to ingest GRANT SELECT ON DATABASE TO USER ; -- Grant SELECT on tables/views for schema extraction GRANT SELECT ON TABLE .* TO USER ; ``` ##### Additional Permissions for Storage Lineage If you plan to enable storage lineage, the connector needs to read table location information: ```sql -- Grant DESCRIBE on tables to read storage locations GRANT SELECT ON .* TO USER ; ``` ##### Recommendations - **Read-only Access**: DataHub only needs read permissions. Never grant `INSERT`, `UPDATE`, `DELETE`, or `DROP` privileges. - **Database Filtering**: If you only need to ingest specific databases, use the `database` config parameter to limit scope and reduce the permissions required. #### Authentication The Hive connector supports multiple authentication methods through PyHive. Configure authentication using the recipe parameters described below. ##### Basic Authentication (Username/Password) The simplest authentication method using a username and password: ```yaml source: type: hive config: host_port: hive.company.com:10000 username: datahub_user password: ${HIVE_PASSWORD} # Use environment variables for sensitive data ``` ##### LDAP Authentication For LDAP-based authentication: ```yaml source: type: hive config: host_port: hive.company.com:10000 username: datahub_user password: ${LDAP_PASSWORD} options: connect_args: auth: LDAP ``` ##### Kerberos Authentication For Kerberos-secured Hive clusters: ```yaml source: type: hive config: host_port: hive.company.com:10000 options: connect_args: auth: KERBEROS kerberos_service_name: hive ``` **Requirements**: - Valid Kerberos ticket (use `kinit` before running ingestion) - Kerberos configuration file (`/etc/krb5.conf` or specified via `KRB5_CONFIG` environment variable) - PyKerberos or requests-kerberos package installed ##### TLS/SSL Connection For secure connections over HTTPS: ```yaml source: type: hive config: host_port: hive.company.com:10001 scheme: "hive+https" username: datahub_user password: ${HIVE_PASSWORD} options: connect_args: auth: BASIC ``` ##### Azure HDInsight For Microsoft Azure HDInsight clusters: ```yaml source: type: hive config: host_port: .azurehdinsight.net:443 scheme: "hive+https" username: admin password: ${HDINSIGHT_PASSWORD} options: connect_args: http_path: "/hive2" auth: BASIC ``` ##### Databricks (via PyHive) For Databricks clusters using the Hive connector: ```yaml source: type: hive config: host_port: :443 scheme: "databricks+pyhive" username: token # or your Databricks username password: ${DATABRICKS_TOKEN} # Personal access token or password options: connect_args: http_path: "sql/protocolv1/o/xxxyyyzzzaaasa/1234-567890-hello123" ``` **Note**: For comprehensive Databricks support, consider using the dedicated [Databricks Unity Catalog](https://github.com/datahub-project/datahub/blob/master/docs/generated/ingestion/databricks) connector instead, which provides enhanced features. ### Install the Plugin ```shell pip install 'acryl-datahub[hive]' ``` ### Starter Recipe Check out the following recipe to get started with ingestion!

profiling.limit
One of integer, null
| Max number of documents to profile. By default, profiles all documents.
Default: None
| |
profiling.max_distinct_per_statement
integer
| Only used when `query_combiner_flatten_enabled` is on. Maximum COUNT(DISTINCT) columns allowed in one flattened statement. Each one builds a distinct-value tree in server memory, so merging too many trades a scan problem for a memory problem. The default is a starting point, not a measured optimum — raise it if your server has headroom and unique counts dominate profiling time, lower it if profiling causes memory pressure.
Default: 5
| |
profiling.max_number_of_fields_to_profile
One of integer, null
| A positive integer that specifies the maximum number of columns to profile for any table. `None` implies all columns. The cost of profiling goes up significantly as the number of columns to profile goes up.
Default: None
| |
profiling.max_workers
integer
| Number of worker threads to use for profiling. Set to 1 to disable.
Default: 20
| |
profiling.nested_field_max_depth

One of integer, null
| Offset in documents to profile. By default, uses no offset.
Default: None
| |

| If specified, profile only the partition which matches this datetime. If not specified, profile the latest partition. Only Bigquery supports this.
Default: None
| |
profiling.partition_profiling_enabled
boolean
| Whether to profile partitioned tables. Only BigQuery and Aws Athena supports this. If enabled, latest partition data is used for profiling.
Default: True
| |
profiling.profile_external_tables
boolean
| Whether to profile external tables. Only Snowflake and Redshift supports this.
Default: False
| |
profiling.profile_if_updated_since_days
One of number, null
| Profile table only if it has been updated since these many number of days. If set to `null`, no constraint of last modified time for tables to profile. Supported in `Snowflake`, `BigQuery`, and `Dremio`. Note: for Dremio this compares against DataHub's last-profiled timestamp (Dremio exposes no table modification time), so it controls profile frequency rather than reacting to upstream change.
Default: None
| |
profiling.profile_nested_fields
boolean
| Whether to profile complex types like structs, arrays and maps.
Default: False
| |
profiling.profile_table_level_only
boolean
| Whether to perform profiling at table-level only, or include column-level profiling as well.
Default: False
| |

Default: False
| |
profiling.profile_table_row_limit
One of integer, null
| Profile tables only if their row count is less than specified count. If set to `null`, no limit on the row count of tables to profile. Supported only in `Snowflake`, `BigQuery`. Supported for `Oracle` based on gathered stats.
Default: 5000000
| |
profiling.profile_table_size_limit
One of integer, null
| Profile tables only if their size is less than specified GBs. If set to `null`, no limit on the size of tables to profile. Supported in `Snowflake`, `BigQuery`, `Databricks`, `Oracle`, and `Teradata`. `Oracle` uses calculated size from gathered stats. `Teradata` uses DBC space accounting.
Default: 5
| |
profiling.profiling_isolation_level
One of Enum, null
| Isolation level for the profiling connection. Defaults to unset, so the connection keeps the driver default and one transaction spans the whole table profile. Set AUTOCOMMIT if profiling is holding Postgres idle-in-transaction (blocking VACUUM) or pinning an InnoDB read view and growing the undo log on MySQL; each profiling SELECT then runs on its own. Under AUTOCOMMIT or READ_COMMITTED, metrics come from different snapshots, so a profile can be internally inconsistent on a concurrently-written table (e.g. uniqueCount > rowCount). On MySQL InnoDB, REPEATABLE_READ keeps a consistent snapshot; on Postgres, READ COMMITTED already takes a fresh snapshot per statement, so AUTOCOMMIT loses no consistency there.
Default: None
| |
profiling.query_combiner_enabled
boolean
| *This feature is still experimental and can be disabled if it causes issues.* Reduces the total number of queries issued and speeds up profiling by dynamically combining SQL queries where possible.
Default: True
| |
profiling.query_combiner_flatten_enabled
boolean
| Flattens same-shape aggregate queries into one flat SELECT per FROM group to reduce full table scans on row stores (e.g. MySQL). Requires `query_combiner_enabled`; has no effect on its own. Off by default. COUNT(DISTINCT) columns are capped per statement to bound server memory.
Default: False
| |
profiling.report_dropped_profiles
boolean
| Whether to report datasets or dataset columns which were not profiled. Set to `True` for debugging purposes.
Default: False
| |
profiling.sample_size
integer
| Number of rows to be sampled from table for column level profiling.Applicable only if `use_sampling` is set to True.
Default: 10000
| |
profiling.turn_off_expensive_profiling_metrics
boolean
| Whether to turn off expensive profiling or not. This turns off profiling for quantiles, distinct_value_frequencies, histogram & sample_values. This also limits maximum number of fields being profiled to 10.
Default: False
| |
profiling.use_sampling
boolean
| Whether to profile column level stats on sample of table. Only BigQuery and Snowflake support this. If enabled, profiling is done on rows sampled from table. Sampling is not done for smaller tables.
Default: True
| |
profiling.operation_config
OperationConfig
| | |
profiling.operation_config.lower_freq_profile_enabled
boolean
| Whether to do profiling at lower freq or not. This does not do any scheduling just adds additional checks to when not to run profiling.
Default: False
| |
profiling.operation_config.profile_date_of_month
One of integer, null
| Number between 1 to 31 for date of month (both inclusive). If not specified, defaults to Nothing and this field does not take affect.
Default: None
| |
profiling.operation_config.profile_day_of_week
One of integer, null
| Number between 0 to 6 for day of week (both inclusive). 0 is Monday and 6 is Sunday. If not specified, defaults to Nothing and this field does not take affect.
Default: None
| |
profiling.tags_to_ignore_sampling
One of array, null
| Fixed list of tags to ignore sampling. Each entry may be a full tag URN (e.g. `urn:li:tag:my_tag`) or just the tag name (e.g. `my_tag`). If not specified, tables will be sampled based on `use_sampling`.
Default: None
| |

string
| | |
stateful_ingestion
One of StatefulStaleMetadataRemovalConfig, null
|
Default: None
| |
stateful_ingestion.enabled
boolean
| Whether or not to enable stateful ingest. Default: True if a pipeline_name is set and either a datahub-rest sink or `datahub_api` is specified, otherwise False
Default: False
| |
stateful_ingestion.fail_safe_threshold
number
| Prevents large amount of soft deletes & the state from committing from accidental changes to the source configuration if the relative change percent in entities compared to the previous state is above the 'fail_safe_threshold'.
Default: 75.0
| |
stateful_ingestion.remove_stale_metadata
boolean
| Soft-deletes the entities present in the last successful run but missing in the current run with stateful_ingestion enabled.
Default: True

This feature creates relationships showing data flow from raw storage to Hive tables. ##### Quick Start Enable storage lineage with minimal configuration: ```yaml source: type: hive config: host_port: hive.company.com:10000 username: datahub_user password: ${HIVE_PASSWORD} # Enable storage lineage emit_storage_lineage: true ``` This will: - Extract storage locations from Hive table metadata - Create lineage from storage (S3, HDFS, etc.) to Hive tables - Include column-level lineage by default ##### Configuration Options Storage lineage behavior is controlled by four parameters: | Parameter | Type | Default | Description | | -------------------------------- | ------- | ------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `emit_storage_lineage` | boolean | `false` | Master toggle to enable/disable storage lineage | | `hive_storage_lineage_direction` | string | `"upstream"` | Direction: `"upstream"` (storage → Hive) or `"downstream"` (Hive → storage) | | `include_column_lineage` | boolean | `true` | Enable column-level lineage from storage paths to Hive columns | | `storage_platform_instance` | string | `None` | Platform instance for storage URNs (e.g., `"prod-s3"`, `"dev-hdfs"`) | ##### Supported Storage Platforms The connector automatically detects and creates lineage for: - **Amazon S3**: `s3://`, `s3a://`, `s3n://` - **HDFS**: `hdfs://` - **Google Cloud Storage**: `gs://` - **Azure Blob Storage**: `wasb://`, `wasbs://` - **Azure Data Lake (Gen1)**: `adl://` - **Azure Data Lake (Gen2)**: `abfs://`, `abfss://` - **Databricks File System**: `dbfs://` - **Local File System**: `file://` or absolute paths #### Platform Instances When ingesting from multiple Hive environments (e.g., production, staging, development), use `platform_instance` to distinguish them: ```yaml source: type: hive config: host_port: prod-hive.company.com:10000 platform_instance: "prod-hive" ``` This creates URNs like: ``` urn:li:dataset:(urn:li:dataPlatform:hive,database.table,prod-hive) ``` **Best Practice**: Combine with `storage_platform_instance` for complete environment isolation: ```yaml source: type: hive config: platform_instance: "prod-hive" # Hive environment storage_platform_instance: "prod-s3" # Storage environment emit_storage_lineage: true ``` #### Large Hive Deployments For Hive clusters with thousands of tables, consider: 1. **Database Filtering**: Limit ingestion to specific databases: ```yaml database: "production_db" # Only ingest one database ``` 2. **Incremental Ingestion**: Use DataHub's stateful ingestion to only process changes: ```yaml stateful_ingestion: enabled: true remove_stale_metadata: true ``` 3. **Disable Column Lineage**: If not needed, disable to improve performance: ```yaml emit_storage_lineage: true include_column_lineage: false # Faster ingestion ``` 4. **Connection Pooling**: The connector uses a single connection by default. For better performance with large schemas, ensure your HiveServer2 has sufficient resources. #### Network Latency - If DataHub is running far from your Hive cluster, expect slower metadata extraction - Consider running ingestion from a machine closer to your Hive infrastructure - Use scheduled ingestion during off-peak hours for large deployments ### Limitations Module behavior is constrained by source APIs, permissions, and metadata exposed by the platform. Refer to capability notes for unsupported or conditional features. #### Hive Version Support - **Supported Versions**: Hive 1.x, 2.x, and 3.x - **HiveServer2 Required**: The connector connects to HiveServer2, not the metastore database directly - For direct metastore access, use the [Hive Metastore](https://github.com/datahub-project/datahub/blob/master/docs/generated/ingestion/hive-metastore) connector instead #### View Definitions - **Simple Views**: Fully supported with SQL lineage extraction - **Complex Views**: Views with complex SQL (CTEs, subqueries) are supported via SQL parsing - **Presto/Trino Views**: Not directly accessible via this connector. Use the [Hive Metastore](https://github.com/datahub-project/datahub/blob/master/docs/generated/ingestion/hive-metastore) connector for Presto/Trino view support #### Storage Lineage Limitations - **Location Required**: Only tables with defined storage locations (`LOCATION` clause) will have storage lineage - **External Tables**: Best supported (always have explicit locations) - **Managed Tables**: Lineage created for default warehouse locations - **Temporary Tables**: Not supported (no persistent storage location) #### Partitioned Tables - Partition information is extracted and included in schema metadata - Partition-level storage lineage is aggregated at the table level - Individual partition lineage is not currently supported #### Authentication Limitations - **No Proxy Support**: Direct connection to HiveServer2 required - **Token-Based Auth**: Not natively supported (use Kerberos or basic auth) - **Multi-Factor Authentication**: Not supported ### Troubleshooting 1. **Session Timeout**: Long-running ingestion may hit HiveServer2 session timeouts. Configure `hive.server2.session.timeout` appropriately on the Hive side. 2. **Large Schemas**: Tables with 1000+ columns may be slow to ingest due to schema extraction overhead. 3. **Case Sensitivity**: - Hive is case-insensitive by default - DataHub automatically lowercases URNs for consistency 4. **View Lineage Parsing**: Complex views using non-standard SQL may not have complete lineage extracted. ### Code Coordinates - Class Name: `datahub.ingestion.source.sql.hive.hive_source.HiveSource` - Browse on [GitHub](https://github.com/datahub-project/datahub/blob/master/metadata-ingestion/src/datahub/ingestion/source/sql/hive/hive_source.py) :::tip Questions?
