1. 配置HiveServer2,在hive-site.xml中添加如下的属性
<property>
<name>hive.server2.thrift.bind.host</name>
<value>192.168.56.101</value>
<description>Bind host on which to run the HiveServer2 Thrift service.</description>
</property>
<property>
<name>hive.server2.thrift.port</name>
<value>10001</value>
<description>Port number of HiveServer2 Thrift interface when hive.server2.transport.mode is 'binary'.</description>
</property>
<property>
<name>hive.server2.thrift.min.worker.threads</name>
<value>5</value>
<description>Minimum number of Thrift worker threads</description>
</property>
<property>
<name>hive.server2.thrift.max.worker.threads</name>
<value>500</value>
<description>Maximum number of Thrift worker threads</description>
</property>
2. 启动HiveServer2
$HIVE_HOME/bin/hiveserver2
3. 修改kettle的配置文件
%KETTLE_HOME%/plugins/pentaho-big-data-plugin/plugin.properties
修改成下面的值
active.hadoop.configuration=hdp20
4. 启动kettle,配置数据库连接,如图1所示

图1
5. 测试
(1)在hive中建立测试表和数据
CREATE DATABASE test;
USE test;
CREATE TABLE a(a int,b int) ROW FORMAT DELIMITED FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',';
LOAD DATA LOCAL INPATH '/home/grid/a.txt' INTO TABLE a;
SELECT * FROM a;
查询结果如图2所示

图2
(2)在kettle建立表输入步骤,结果如图3所示

图3
注意:这里需要加上库名test,否则查询的是default库。
(3)点击预览,显示的数据如图4所示
