Can anyone please give a step by step procedure of setting up a driver for HIVE and connecting successfully. I database url i am using is jdbc:hive://:/databasename I have added the following jar hive-jdbc-0.10.0. I also tried adding them in the jdbc folder of visualizer, but it is not taking commons-logging-1.1.3.jar hadoop-0.20.2-dev-core.jar hive-exec-0.13.0-mapr-1406.jar hive-jdbc-0.13.0-mapr-1406.jar hive-service-0.13.0-mapr-1406.jar httpclient-4.2.5.jar httpcore-4.2.5.jar libthrift-0.9.0.jar slf4j-api-1.7.5.jar slf4j-log4j12-1.7.5.jar Please help

Re: UNABLE TO CONNECT TO HIVE USING VISUALIZER
Hi, Please first note that HIVE is not officially supported by DbVisualizer even if many users are using it. The error indicate you are using an erroneous Database URL. Here is an example that has worked for others: jdbc:hive2:/// Replace with appropriate values. Regards Roger

Hi, The screenshot shows no colon (:) between jdbc and hive2. Should be: jdbc:hive2://... Regards Roger

There is a colon between jdbc and hive2. Please zoom the image to see it.

Re: UNABLE TO CONNECT TO HIVE USING VISUALIZER
Ah sorry, I didn't see it. You are then using the wrong jar files. HIVE and its jar-mania is a mess. I suggest you check with the HIVE community what jars are required. Regards Roger

Re: UNABLE TO CONNECT TO HIVE USING VISUALIZER
Hi, I suggest you Google for "hive jdbc" to locate the appropriate information for HIVE and what JAR files are required. Even though the following web page mentions SquirrelSQL it should work in DbVisualizer too. https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/HiveJDBCInterface#HiveJDBCInterface-IntegrationwithSQuirrelSQLClient Regards Roger

I wrote up every step I took to get DBVis connected to Hortonworks HiveServer2. With pictures included. See if this helps. https://github.com/cyanfr/dbvis_to_hortonworks_hiveserver2/wiki/How-I-Connected-DBVisualizer-9.2.2-on-Windows-to-Hortonwork-HiveServer2
