Feature support

The following list describes support of various components and functionality with Hive 3.1.3.750 or higher:

  • Supports Hive-3.1.3 on Tez-0.10.2.

  • Does not support Hive on Spark, so you cannot use Spark as an execution 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

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

New in This Release

Known Issues and Limitations

  • See Considerations for Hive on JDK 17 and later.
  • For Hive services to work on a cluster with FIPS mode enabled, you need to configure the following settings:
    1. Add the following properties to core-site.xml (/opt/mapr/hadoop/hadoop-<version>/etc/hadoop/core-site.xml):
      <property>
  <name>hadoop.security.secret-manager.key-generator.algorithm</name>
  <value>HmacSHA1</value>
  <description>
    The configuration key specifying the KeyGenerator algorithm used in SecretManager
    for generating secret keys. The algorithm must be a KeyGenerator algorithm supported by
    the Java Cryptography Architecture (JCA). Common examples include "HmacSHA1",
    "HmacSHA256", and "HmacSHA512".
  </description>
</property>

<property>
  <name>hadoop.security.secret-manager.key-length</name>
  <value>128</value>
  <description>
    The configuration key specifying the key length of the generated secret keys
    in SecretManager. The key length must be appropriate for the algorithm.
    For example, longer keys are generally more secure but may not be supported
    by all algorithms.
  </description>
</property>
    2. Remove the old (short) SCRUM password and recreate a new one (with extended length), for example:
      hadoop credential delete scram.password -provider localbcfks://file/opt/mapr/hadoop/hadoop-3.4.1/etc/hadoop/scram/scram.bcfks
hadoop credential create scram.password -value <128 chars password> -provider localbcfks://file/opt/mapr/hadoop/hadoop-3.4.1/etc/hadoop/scram/scram.bcfks

example:
hadoop credential create scram.password -value dDA/ye0xdDA/ye0xdDA/ye0xdDA/ye0xdDA/ye0xdDA/ye0xdDA/ye0xdDA/ye0xdDA/ye0xdDA/ye0xdDA/ye0xdDA/ye0xdDA/ye0xdDA/ye0xdDA/ye0xdDA/ye0x -provider localbcfks://file/opt/mapr/hadoop/hadoop-3.4.1/etc/hadoop/scram/scram.bcfks
    3. Restart Hadoop and Hive services.
  • RCFile and Hive 2.x Timestamps:

    Backward compatibility for RCFile timestamps written by Hive 2 are not fully supported in Hive 3. Because RCFile uses the same internal classes for both reading and writing, any automatic conversion risks double-applying timezone shifts. As a result, Hive 2 to Hive 3 timestamp migration is not handled transparently.
