Hive Operation Test

Apache Hive chooses respective database servers to store the schema or Metadata of tables, databases, columns in a table, their data types, and HDFS mapping. This test periodically monitors the SQL/API call operations of the target Apache Hive. Using the test, administrators can proactively be alerted when Apache Hive is non operational/stopped. In addition, this test throws light on the SQL/API call operations that were completed and the operations that were kept pending.

Target of the test : Apache Hive

Agent deploying the test : An internal/remote agent

Outputs of the test : One set of results for each operation:total/active SQL and API call operations to the target Apache Hive.

Configurable parameters for the test
Parameter Description

Test period

How often should the test be executed.

Host

The IP address of the target server that is being monitored.

Port

The port number through which the Apache Hive communicates. The default port is 10002.

SSL

By default, the SSL flag is set to False, indicating that the target Apache Hive is not SSL-enabled by default. To enable the test to connect to an SSL-enabled Apache Hive, set the SSL flag to True.

DD Frequency

Refers to the frequency with which detailed diagnosis measures are to be generated for this test. The default is 1:1. This indicates that, by default, detailed measures will be generated every time the test runs, and also every time the test detects a problem. You can modify this frequency, if you so desire. Also, if you intend to disable the detailed diagnosis capability for this test, you can do so by specifying none against DD Frequency.

Measurements made by the test
Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation

Initialized count

Indicates the number of total/active SQL and API call operations that are currently initialized.

Number

 

Running count

Indicates the number of total/active SQL and API call operations that are currently running.

Number

 

Pending count

Indicates the number of total/active SQL and API call operations that are currently pending.

Number

Ideally, the value of this measure should be zero.

Closed count

Indicates the number of total/active SQL and API call operations that are currently closed.

Number

 

Finished count

Indicates the number of total/active SQL and API call operations that are currently completed.

Number

A very high value is desired for this measure.

User active

Indicates the number of total/active SQL and API call operations that are currently user active.
