Hadoop: Python client driver for HiveServer2 fails to install

Question

I am trying to install a Python client driver for HiveServer2: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/Setting+Up+HiveServer2#SettingUpHiveServer2-PythonClientDriver

Installations says that: "A Python client driver for HiveServer2 is available at https://github.com/BradRuderman/pyhs2 It includes all the required packages such as SASL and Thrift wrappers".

Yet, running pip install pyhs2 fails on SASL compilation (see below). I have Hadoop 2.2.0 installed and working on localhost. Please help, to install Python client.

Answer 1

pyhs2 is great, it packages several needed python packages together for a dbapi, among them sasl. Note if you pip install sasl you'll get the same error.

sasl (the python package) depends on libsasl2-dev (on a Debian/Ubuntu machine). The error you're seeing is that the compiler can't find the libraries that sasl is supposed to wrap.

If you sudo apt-get install libsasl2-dev and rerun, it will likely be fixed.

edit: Based on your comment, here's a robust way of getting this to work:

curl -O -L ftp://ftp.cyrusimap.org/cyrus-sasl/cyrus-sasl-2.1.26.tar.gz
tar xzf cyrus-sasl-2.1.26.tar.gz
cd cyrus-sasl-2.1.26
./configure && make install

Answer 2

Pyhs2 has the following dependencies:

1. gcc-c++

2. python-devel.x86_64

3. cyrus-sasl-devel.x86_64

So, just run this

sudo yum install gcc-c++ python-devel.x86_64 cyrus-sasl-devel.x86_64

sudo pip install pyhs2
