Feature support

The following list describes support of various components and functionality with Hive 3.1.3.300 - 2307:

  • Supports Hive-3.1.3 on Tez-0.10.2.

  • Does not support Hive on Spark. You cannot use Spark as a query engine for Hive. However, you can run Hive and Spark on the same cluster. You can also use Spark SQL and Drill to query Hive tables.

  • Does not support HDFS encryption in Hive tables.

  • Does not support LLAP with Hive-3.1.3 because Apache Slider is not an HPE supported ecosystem component.

  • Starting from Hive 2.1, Hive must run the schematool command as an initialization step.

  • Starting from EEP 9.1.0, you can enable Hive to work with JDK 17. See Considerations for JDK 17.

  • Starting from EEP 9.0.0, Data Fabric supports Ranger, which can be integrated with HiveServer2. For more information, see Integrating HiveServer2 with Ranger.

Known Issues and Limitations

  • HIVE-1336: When using Hive configured with Java 17, sometimes Hive gives the following error:
    Caused by: java.lang.reflect.InaccessibleObjectException: <detailed description>: module java.base does not "opens <module name>" to unnamed module
    Error example:
    Caused by: java.lang.reflect.InaccessibleObjectException: Unable to make field private final int java.time.LocalDate.year accessible: module java.base does not "opens java.time" to unnamed module

    Workaround:

    Add the --add-opens java.base/<module name>=ALL-UNNAMED configuration option (for example, --add-opens java.base/java.time=ALL-UNNAMED) to the following:
    1. HADOOP_OPTS variable in the hive-env.sh configuration file.
    2. mapreduce.map.java.opts, mapreduce.reduce.java.opts, yarn.app.mapreduce.am.command-opts properties of the hive-site.xml configuration file.
