Question

我想在Hive中写出这个sql请求的等价物：

select * from information_schema.columns where table_schema='database_name'

如何访问hive的Metastore并检索存储在特定数据库中的所有表的所有列？我知道我们可以做到它通过描述[table_name]表，但无论如何都有同一请求中数据库中所有表的列？

Answer 1

如果您希望能够运行返回hive元数据的查询，可以使用MySQL设置Hive Metastore，Hive中使用的元数据存储在MySQL的特定帐户中。

您必须通过执行CREATE USER 'hive'@'metastorehost' IDENTIFIED BY 'mypassword'为hive创建MySQL用户。

然后，您会找到COLUMNS_VS这样的表格，其中包含您要查找的信息。

检索所有表中所有列的示例查询可以是：SELECT COLUMN_NAME, TBL_NAME FROM COLUMNS_V2 c JOIN TBLS a ON c.CD_ID=a.TBL_ID

或者，您可以通过REST调用 WebHCat 来访问此信息，请参阅wiki以获取更多信息。

如何访问配置单元的Metastore并检索所有列的所有列存储在特定数据库中的表？

这是连接HiveMetaStoreClient的一种方法，您可以使用方法getTableColumnsInformation获取列。

在此类和列中，可以提取所有其他信息（如分区）。请参阅示例客户端和示例方法。

import org.apache.hadoop.hive.conf.HiveConf;

// test program
public class Test {
    public static void main(String[] args){

        HiveConf hiveConf = new HiveConf();
        hiveConf.setIntVar(HiveConf.ConfVars.METASTORETHRIFTCONNECTIONRETRIES, 3);
        hiveConf.setVar(HiveConf.ConfVars.METASTOREURIS, "thrift://host:port");

        HiveMetaStoreConnector hiveMetaStoreConnector = new HiveMetaStoreConnector(hiveConf);
        if(hiveMetaStoreConnector != null){
            System.out.print(hiveMetaStoreConnector.getAllPartitionInfo("tablename"));
        }
    }
}
