# PyHive [PyHive](https://github.com/dropbox/PyHive) is a collection of Python DB-API and SQLAlchemy interfaces for Hive. PyHive can connect with the Kyuubi server serving in thrift protocol as HiveServer2. ## Requirements PyHive works with Python 2.7 / Python 3. Install PyHive via pip for the Hive interface. ``` pip install 'pyhive[hive]' ``` ## Usage Use the Kyuubi server's host and thrift protocol port to connect. For further information about usages and features, e.g. DB-API async fetching, using in SQLAlchemy, please refer to [project homepage](https://github.com/dropbox/PyHive). ### DB-API ```python from pyhive import hive cursor = hive.connect(host=kyuubi_host,port=10009).cursor() cursor.execute('SELECT * FROM my_awesome_data LIMIT 10') print(cursor.fetchone()) print(cursor.fetchall()) ``` ### Use PyHive with Pandas PyHive provides a handy way to establish a SQLAlchemy compatible connection and works with Pandas dataframe for executing SQL and reading data via [`pandas.read_sql`](https://pandas.pydata.org/docs/reference/api/pandas.read_sql.html). ```python from pyhive import hive import pandas as pd # open connection conn = hive.Connection(host=kyuubi_host,port=10009) # query the table to a new dataframe dataframe = pd.read_sql("SELECT id, name FROM test.example_table", conn) ``` ### Authentication If password is provided for connection, make sure the `auth` param set to either `CUSTOM` or `LDAP`. ```python # open connection conn = hive.Connection(host=kyuubi_host,port=10009, user='user', password='password', auth='CUSTOM') ```
