New in this Release

This release of Apache Hive includes the following behavior changes that are specific to MapR:

Additional Properties
The following Hive properties were backported into this release:
  • hive.metastore.schema.verification.record.version
  • hive.server2.thrift.http.max.idle.time
  • hive.server2.thrift.http.worker.keepalive.time
  • hive.server2.session.check.interval
  • hive.server2.idle.session.timeout
  • hive.exec.orc.default.block.size
You can override the default values by configuring different values for these properties in the hive-site.xml file. For details on these properties, see the Apache Hive Documentation.
Additional orcfiledump Options
The orcfiledump utility includes the option to print the timezone in ORC metadata files and to dump the content of the ORC files.
Flexible HiveServer2 Authentication Support
When the cluster is secure, HiveServer2 accepts both MAPR-SASL and PAM for in-bound authentication. This allows a single instance of HiveServer2 to accept both MapR-SASL authentication from Hue and PAM authentication from JDBC/ODBC connections.
Beeline can Submit Multiple Queries at a Time
Beeline can submit multiple queries at a time when you use a semi-colon(;) in-between queries. For details on the features available in the open source version of this component, see the Apache Hive 0.13.0 changelog or the Apache Hive homepage .
