How to use Hive jobs with Azkaban?

Question

I would like to use Azkaban for periodic Hive jobs, I have looked through Azkaban documentation, and it seems like by default it doesn't support Hive jobs, do you know how can I use these two together?

I think, I'll have to run Hive jobs as a "command job" available in Azkaban, but maybe someone has worked it out.
I was using Oozie for some time, but It didn't meet my needs.

Thanks.

Answer 1

Right now we don't have an easy way. You can certainly hack into the HiveCliDriver and do it from there, but it's suboptimal... Alternatively, just run it as a command line job. We're using a different system at LI. I hope to add this ability pretty quickly, but not sure when I'll have the chance.

Answer 2

As of Azkaban 2.1, Hive jobs are supported. For details, see the documentation.
