Lindorm:Use Hive to connect to and use LindormTable

Last Updated:Jul 19, 2025

This topic describes how to connect to and use LindormTable.

Prerequisites

Usage notes

  • To connect to a Lindorm instance over the Internet or the Lindorm instance that you want to access is a single-node Lindorm instance, you must upgrade your SDK and change the configurations before you perform the operations described in this topic. For more information, see Step 1 in Use the ApsaraDB for HBase API for Java to connect to and use LindormTable.

  • If your application is deployed on an Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instance, make sure that your Lindorm instance and the ECS instance meet the following requirements to ensure network connectivity.

    • Your Lindorm instance and ECS instance are deployed in the same region. We recommend that you deploy the two instances in the same zone to reduce network latency.

    • Your Lindorm instance and ECS instance are deployed in the same VPC.

Configure connection parameters in Hive

Method 1: Add connection configurations to the hive-site.xml file.

<configuration>
    <property>
        <name>hbase.zookeeper.quorum</name>
      <!--
   The LindormTable endpoint of the HBase Java API for Java
    -->
        <value>ld-bp1461s38p7y9****-proxy-lindorm.lindorm.rds.aliyuncs.com:30020</value>
    </property>
 </configuration>

Method 2: Run a command in the Hive client.

// Specify the LindormTable endpoint of the HBase API for Java.
set hbase.zookeeper.quorum=ld-bp1461s38p7y9****-proxy-lindorm.lindorm.rds.aliyuncs.com:30020

Procedure

  1. Configure the LindormTable endpoint of the Lindorm instance to which you want to connect in the Hive client.

    hive
    // Specify the LindormTable endpoint of the HBase API for Java.
    set hbase.zookeeper.quorum=ld-bp1461s38p7y9****-proxy-lindorm.lindorm.rds.aliyuncs.com:30020
  2. Create a table named hive_hbase_table in the Lindorm instance.

    CREATE 'hive_hbase_table','cf1'
  3. Create an external table in Hive.

    CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE hive_hbase_table(key int, value string)
    STORED BY 'org.apache.hadoop.hive.hbase.HBaseStorageHandler'
    WITH SERDEPROPERTIES ("hbase.columns.mapping" = ":key,cf1:val")
    TBLPROPERTIES ("hbase.table.name" = "hive_hbase_table", "hbase.mapred.output.outputtable" = "hive_hbase_table");

    If OK is contained in the returned information, the external table is created.

  4. Insert data into the external table and verify the insertion.

    • Insert data in the external table in Hive and verify the data is inserted in Lindorm.

      Insert data into the external table:

      insert into hive_hbase_table values(212,'bab');

      In Lindorm, verify the data is inserted into the external table:

      scan 'hive_hbase_table'

      Output:

      ROW                   COLUMN+CELL
      212                   column=cf1:val, timestamp=2023-03-13T15:35:10.270, value=bab                      
    • Insert data into the hive_hbase_table table in Lindorm and verify the data is inserted in Hive.

      Insert data into the hive_hbase_table table:

      put 'hive_hbase_table','213','cf1:val','dadsadasda'

      In Hive, verify the data is inserted into the hive_hbase_table table:

      SELECT * FROM hive_hbase_table;

      Return values:

      212   bab
      213   dadsadasda
Important

You cannot use Hive to directly read files in Lindorm. However, you can create or associate a Hive external table to read data from or write data to Lindorm.
