Connecting Flume with Hive in Security Mode

Scenario

This section describes how to use Flume to connect to Hive (version 3.1.0) in the cluster.

Prerequisites

Flume and Hive have been correctly installed in the cluster. The services are running properly, and no alarm is reported.

Procedure

1. Import the following JAR packages to the lib directory (client/server) of the Flume instance to be tested as user omm:
   • antlr-version.jar
   • antlr-runtime-version.jar
   • calcite-core-version.jar
   • hadoop-mapreduce-client-core-version.jar
   • hive-beeline-version.jar
   • hive-cli-version.jar
   • hive-common-version.jar
   • hive-exec-version.jar
   • hive-hcatalog-core-version.jar
   • hive-hcatalog-pig-adapter-version.jar
   • hive-hcatalog-server-extensions-version.jar
   • hive-hcatalog-streaming-version.jar
   • hive-metastore-version.jar
   • hive-service-version.jar
   • libfb303-version.jar
   • hadoop-plugins-version.jar

   You can obtain the JAR package from the Hive installation directory and restart the Flume process to ensure that the JAR package is loaded to the running environment.

2. Set Hive configuration items.

   On FusionInsight Manager, choose Cluster > Name of the desired cluster > Services > Hive. On the page that is displayed, click the Configurations tab then the All Configurations sub-tab. On this sub-tab page, choose HiveServer(Role) > Customization > hive.server.customized.configs.

   Table 1 hive.server.customized.configs parameters

   Name	Value
   hive.support.concurrency	true
   hive.exec.dynamic.partition.mode	nonstrict
   hive.txn.manager	org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.lockmgr.DbTxnManager
   hive.compactor.initiator.on	true
   hive.compactor.worker.threads	1

3. Prepare the system user flume_hive who has the supergroup and Hive permissions, install the client, and create the required Hive table.
   Example:

   1. Install the cluster client in /opt/client.
   2. Run the following command to authenticate the user:

      cd /opt/client

      source bigdata_env

      kinit flume_hive

   3. Run the beeline command and run the following table creation statement:

      create table flume_multi_type_part(id string, msg string)
      partitioned by (country string, year_month string, day string)
      clustered by (id) into 5 buckets
      stored as orc TBLPROPERTIES('transactional'='true');

   4. Run the select * from Table name; command to query data in the table.

      In this case, the number of data records in the table is 0.

4. Prepare related configuration files. Assume that the client installation package is stored in /opt/FusionInsight_Cluster_1_Services_ClientConfig.
   1. Obtain the following files from the $Client decompression directory/Hive/config directory:
      • hivemetastore-site.xml
      • hive-site.xml
   2. Obtain the following files from the $Client decompression directory/HDFS/config directory:

      core-site.xml

   3. Create a directory on the host where the Flume instance is started and save the prepared files to the created directory.

      Example: /opt/hivesink-conf/hive-site.xml.

   4. Copy all property configurations in the hivemetastore-site.xml file to the hive-site.xml file and ensure that the configurations are placed before the original configurations.

      Data is loaded in sequence in Hive.

      

      Ensure that the Flume running user omm has the read and write permissions on the directory where the configuration file is stored.

5. Observe the result.

   On the Hive client, run the select * from Table name; command. Check whether the corresponding data has been written to the Hive table.
