Connect to HiveServer2 with a kerberized JDBC client (Squirrel)

By Anonymous
Listen:
Squirrel work with kerberos, however, if you don't want kerberos then you don't need the JAVA_OPTS changes at the end. My colleague, Chris Conner, has created a maven project that pulls down all of the dependencies for a JDBC program:

https://github.com/cmconner156/hiveserver2-jdbc-kerberos

Note for kerberos environment, you need to kinit before using Squirrel. The above program handles kinit for you. If you are not using Kerberos and you want to use the above program, then comment out the following lines:

System.setProperty("java.security.auth.login.config","gss-jaas.conf");
System.setProperty("javax.security.auth.useSubjectCredsOnly","false");
System.setProperty("java.security.krb5.conf","krb5.conf");

Then make sure to change the jdbc URI to not have the principal. Also, it's worth mentioning that if you use kerberos, I did have some issues with differing java versions. So try matching your client's java version with the HS2 server.

Work with Squirrel

First create a new Driver:
  1. Click on Drivers on the side.
  2. Click the + button.
  3. Enter a Name.
  4. Enter the URL like the example: jdbc:hive2://<host>:<port>/<db>;principal=<princ>
  5. Enter the Driver name: org.apache.hive.jdbc.HiveDriver
Click on the Extra Class Path button and click Add and make sure to add the following Classes:

commons-configuration-1.6.jar
commons-logging-1.0.4.jar
guava-11.0.2.jar
hadoop-auth-2.0.0-cdh4.2.0.jar
hadoop-common-2.0.0-cdh4.2.0.jar
hadoop-core-2.0.0-mr1-cdh4.2.0.jar
hive-exec-0.10.0-cdh4.2.0.jar
hive-jdbc-0.10.0-cdh4.2.0.jar
hive-metastore-0.10.0-cdh4.2.0.jar
hive-service-0.10.0-cdh4.2.0.jar
hive-shims-0.10.0-cdh4.2.0.jar
libfb303-0.9.0.jar
libthrift-0.9.0.jar
log4j-1.2.16.jar
slf4j-api-1.6.4.jar
slf4j-log4j12-1.6.1.jar
Note, the classes can be changed every release, so please find out the one you have installed.
Click OK to save.

Now you need to edit the Squirrel start script. On OSX, as example, it is "/Applications/SQuirreLSQL.app/Contents/MacOS/squirrel-sql.sh", Linux like OS' should have this in /etc/squirrel - or elsewhere.

Now add the following line anywhere in the script above the actual JAVA_CMD line. Make sure to enter the correct Kerberos stuff:
export JAVA_OPTS="-Djava.security.krb5.realm=ALO.ALT -Djava.security.krb5.kdc=hadoop1.alo.alt"

Now edit the last line of that script, it is normally something like:
$JAVACMD -Xmx256m -cp "$CP" $MACOSX_SQUIRREL_PROPS -splash:"$SQUIRREL_SQL_HOME/icons/splash.jpg" net.sourceforge.squirrel_sql.client.Main --log-config-file "$UNIX_STYLE_HOME"/log4j.properties --squirrel-home "$UNIX_STYLE_HOME" $NATIVE_LAF_PROP $SCRIPT_ARGS

Change it to:

$JAVACMD -Xmx256m $JAVA_OPTS -cp "$CP" $MACOSX_SQUIRREL_PROPS -splash:"$SQUIRREL_SQL_HOME/icons/splash.jpg" net.sourceforge.squirrel_sql.client.Main --log-config-file "$UNIX_STYLE_HOME"/log4j.properties --squirrel-home "$UNIX_STYLE_HOME" $NATIVE_LAF_PROP $SCRIPT_ARGS

Notice I added the JAVA_OPTS.

Now you can add a new host and it should work correctly with kerberos.

Deal with corrupted messages in Apache Kafka

By
Under some strange circumstances, it can happen that a message in a Kafka topic is corrupted. This often happens when using 3rd party frameworks with Kafka. In addition, Kafka < 0.9 does not have a lock on Log.read() at the consumer read level, but does have a lock on Log.write(). This can lead to a rare race condition as described in KAKFA-2477 [1]. A likely log entry looks like this: ERROR Error processing message, stopping consumer: (kafka.tools.ConsoleConsumer$) kafka.message.InvalidMessageException: Message is corrupt (stored crc = xxxxxxxxxx, computed crc = yyyyyyyyyy Kafka-Tools Kafka stores the offset of each consumer in Zookeeper. To read the offsets, Kafka provides handy tools [2]. But you can also use zkCli.sh, at least to display the consumer and the stored offsets. First we need to find the consumer for a topic (> Kafka 0.9): bin/kafka-consumer-groups.sh --zookeeper management01:2181 --describe --group test Prior to Kafka 0.9, the only way to get this inform

Hive query shows ERROR "too many counters"

By Anonymous
A hive job face the odd " Too many counters:"  like Ended Job = job_xxxxxx with exception 'org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.counters.LimitExceededException(Too many counters: 201 max=200)' FAILED: Execution Error, return code 1 from org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.MapRedTask Intercepting System.exit(1) These happens when operators are used in queries ( Hive Operators ). Hive creates 4 counters per operator, max upto 1000, plus a few additional counters like file read/write, partitions and tables. Hence the number of counter required is going to be dependent upon the query.  To avoid such exception, configure " mapreduce.job.counters.max " in mapreduce-site.xml to a value above 1000. Hive will fail when he is hitting the 1k counts, but other MR jobs not. A number around 1120 should be a good choice. Using " EXPLAIN EXTENDED " and " grep -ri operators | wc -l " print out the used numbers of operators. Use this value to tweak the MR s

AI's False Reality: Understanding Hallucination

By
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has leapfrogged to the poster child of technological innovation, on track to transform industries in a scale similar to the Industrial Revolution of the 1800s. But in this case, as cutting-edge technology, AI presents its own unique challenge, exploiting our human behavior of "love to trust", we as humans face a challenge: AI hallucinations. This phenomenon, where AI models generate outputs that are factually incorrect, misleading, or entirely fabricated, raises complex questions about the reliability and trust of AI models and larger systems. The tendency for AI to hallucinate comes from several interrelated factors. Overfitting – a condition where models become overly specialized to their training data – can lead to confident but wildly inaccurate responses when presented with novel scenarios (Guo et al., 2017). Moreover, biases embedded within datasets shape the models' understanding of the world; if these datasets are flawed or unreprese
