  - Upgrading Hive
    Complete the following steps to upgrade Hive with manual steps. If you installed Hive with the MapR Installer, use the latest version of the MapR Installer to perform the upgrade.
  - Getting Started with Hive
  - Configuring Hive
    - Configure Hive Directories
    - Use MySQL for the Hive Metastore
      The metadata for Hive tables and partitions are stored in the Hive Metastore. By default, the Hive Metastore stores all Hive metadata in an embedded Apache Derby database in MapR-FS. Derby only allows one connection at a time; if you want multiple concurrent Hive sessions, you can use MySQL for the Hive Metastore.

About this task

To verify that Hive queries do not run as the mapr user, connect to hiveserver2 as a user other than mapr. Then, run queries and verify that queries were run as the user that connected to hiveserver2.

To verify that hadoop commands submitted by Hive do not run as the mapr user, start the shell or hiveserver2 as a user other than mapr. Then, create some tables and verify that the tables in /user/hive/warehouse are created under the user that started the shell or hiveserver2.
