(Last Updated On: )

In this tutorial I will show you how to connect to remote Kerberos Hive cluster using Java. If you haven’t install Hive yet follow the tutorial.

Import SSL Cert to Java:

Follow this tutorial to “Installing unlimited strength encryption Java libraries

If on Windows do the following

#Import it
"C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_171\bin\keytool" -import -file hadoop.csr -keystore "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_171\jre\lib\security\cacerts" -alias "hadoop"

#Check it
"C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_171\bin\keytool" -list -v -keystore "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_171\jre\lib\security\cacerts"

#If you want to delete it
"C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_171\bin\keytool" -delete -alias hadoop -keystore "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_171\jre\lib\security\cacerts"
