Hi, Can you help me on this? Can we implement PAM authentication for rhive? If yes, Can you suggest me if you have any documentation? Is rhive going to use RODBC/JDBC connection to connect hiveserver2? or requests directly going to namenode? Here are my connection details: library(RODBC) library(RHive) rhive.init(hiveHome="/usr/hdp/current/hive-client/",hadoopHome="/usr/hdp/current/hadoop-client") rhive.connect(host="<hive server IP>",port=10000,defaultFS="hdfs://<NameNode IP>:8020",user="************",password="**********", hiveServer2=TRUE) Thanks for your help.
