This topic describes how to make environment preparations to access a Tablestore table by using Hive and HadoopMR.

Use Hive and HadoopMR to access a Tablestore table

You can use Hive and HadoopMR to access and analyze data in Tablestore directly by using the dependency package released by the official teams of Tablestore and E-MapReduce.

Install JDK V7 or later

  1. Download the installation package of JDK V7 or later.

  2. Follow the example to check the installation.

    $ java -version
    java version "1.8.0_77"
    Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_77-b03)
    Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.77-b03, mixed mode)                       

Install Hadoop and start the Hadoop environment

  1. Download the Hadoop installation package whose version is later than 2.6.0. For more information, visit the Hadoop installation package.

  2. Decompress the package and install Hadoop based on the cluster conditions.

  3. Follow the example to start the Hadoop environment.

    $ bin/start-all.sh
    # Check whether the service is started.
    $ jps
    24017 NameNode
    24835 Jps
    24131 DataNode
    24438 ResourceManager
    5114 HMaster
    24287 SecondaryNameNode
    24527 NodeManager
                            
  4. Add the path of Hadoop in /etc/profile. Run the source /etc/profile command to make the configurations take effect.

    export HADOOP_HOME=/data/hadoop/hadoop-2.6.0
    export PATH=$PATH:$HADOOP_HOME/bin

    mkdir /home/admin/hive-2.1.0
    tar -zxvf apache-hive-2.1.0-bin.tar.gz -C /home/admin/
    mv /home/admin/apache-hive-2.1.0-bin /home/admin/hive-2.1.0/                     
  3. Follow the example to initialize schema.

    # Go to the specified directory.
    cd /home/admin/hive-2.1.0/
    # Start initialization. For mysql, replace derby with mysql.
    # If an error occurs in the execution process, delete rm -rf metastore_db/ before you execute the code again.
    ./bin/schematool -initSchema -dbType derby
