About Hive-TsFile-Connector
Hive-TsFile-Connector implements the support of Hive for external data sources of Tsfile type. This enables users to operate TsFile by Hive.
With this connector, you can
- Load a single TsFile, from either the local file system or hdfs, into hive
- Load all files in a specific directory, from either the local file system or hdfs, into hive
- Query the tsfile through HQL.
- As of now, the write operation is not supported in hive-connector. So, insert operation in HQL is not allowed while operating tsfile through hive.
System Requirements
| Hadoop Version | Hive Version | Java Version | TsFile |
|---|---|---|---|
2.7.3 or 3.2.1 | 2.3.6 or 3.1.2 | 1.8 | 1.0.0 |
Note: For more information about how to download and use TsFile, please see the following link: https://github.com/apache/iotdb/tree/master/tsfile.
Data Type Correspondence
| TsFile data type | Hive field type |
|---|---|
| BOOLEAN | Boolean |
| INT32 | INT |
| INT64 | BIGINT |
| FLOAT | Float |
| DOUBLE | Double |
| TEXT | STRING |
Add Dependency For Hive
To use hive-connector in hive, we should add the hive-connector jar into hive.
After downloading the code of iotdb from https://github.com/apache/iotdb, you can use the command of mvn clean package -pl iotdb-connector/hive-connector -am -Dmaven.test.skip=true -P get-jar-with-dependencies to get a hive-connector-X.X.X-jar-with-dependencies.jar.
Then in hive, use the command of add jar XXX to add the dependency. For example:
hive> add jar /Users/hive/iotdb/hive-connector/target/hive-connector-1.0.0-jar-with-dependencies.jar;
Added [/Users/hive/iotdb/hive-connector/target/hive-connector-1.0.0-jar-with-dependencies.jar] to class path
Added resources: [/Users/hive/iotdb/hive-connector/target/hive-connector-1.0.0-jar-with-dependencies.jar]
Create Tsfile-backed Hive tables
To create a Tsfile-backed table, specify the serde as org.apache.iotdb.hive.TsFileSerDe,
specify the inputformat as org.apache.iotdb.hive.TSFHiveInputFormat,
and the outputformat as org.apache.iotdb.hive.TSFHiveOutputFormat.
Also provide a schema which only contains two fields: time_stamp and sensor_id for the table.time_stamp is the time value of the time series
and sensor_id is the sensor name to extract from the tsfile to hive such as sensor_1.
The name of the table can be any valid table names in hive.
Also a location provided for hive-connector to pull the most current data for the table.
The location should be a specific directory on your local file system or HDFS to set up Hadoop.
If it is in your local file system, the location should look like file:///data/data/sequence/root.baic2.WWS.leftfrontdoor/
Last, set the device_id in TBLPROPERTIES to the device name you want to analyze.
For example:
CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE IF NOT EXISTS only_sensor_1(
time_stamp TIMESTAMP,
sensor_1 BIGINT)
ROW FORMAT SERDE 'org.apache.iotdb.hive.TsFileSerDe'
STORED AS
INPUTFORMAT 'org.apache.iotdb.hive.TSFHiveInputFormat'
OUTPUTFORMAT 'org.apache.iotdb.hive.TSFHiveOutputFormat'
LOCATION '/data/data/sequence/root.baic2.WWS.leftfrontdoor/'
TBLPROPERTIES ('device_id'='root.baic2.WWS.leftfrontdoor.plc1');
In this example, the data of root.baic2.WWS.leftfrontdoor.plc1.sensor_1 is pulled from the directory of /data/data/sequence/root.baic2.WWS.leftfrontdoor/.
This table results in a description as below:
hive> describe only_sensor_1;
OK
time_stamp timestamp from deserializer
sensor_1 bigint from deserializer
Time taken: 0.053 seconds, Fetched: 2 row(s)
At this point, the Tsfile-backed table can be worked with in Hive like any other table.
Query from TsFile-backed Hive tables
Before we do any queries, we should set the hive.input.format in hive by executing the following command.
hive> set hive.input.format=org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.io.HiveInputFormat;
Now, we already have an external table named only_sensor_1 in hive.
We can use any query operations through HQL to analyse it.
For example:
Select Clause Example
hive> select * from only_sensor_1 limit 10;
OK
1 1000000
2 1000001
3 1000002
4 1000003
5 1000004
6 1000005
7 1000006
8 1000007
9 1000008
10 1000009
Time taken: 1.464 seconds, Fetched: 10 row(s)
Aggregate Clause Example
hive> select count(*) from only_sensor_1;
WARNING: Hive-on-MR is deprecated in Hive 2 and may not be available in the future versions. Consider using a different execution engine (i.e. spark, tez) or using Hive 1.X releases.
