這種方式是最簡單的存儲方式,只需要在hive-site.xml做如下配置便可;
$ vim hive-site.xml
<configuration> <property> <name>javax.jdo.option.ConnectionURL</name> <value>jdbc:derby:;databaseName=metastore_db;create=true</value> </property> <property> <name>javax.jdo.option.ConnectionDriverName</name> <value>org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver</value> </property> <property> <name>hive.metastore.local</name> <value>true</value> </property> <property> <name>hive.metastore.warehouse.dir</name> <value>/user/hive/warehouse</value> </property> </configuration>
注:使用derby存儲方式時,運行hive會在當前目錄生成一個derby文件和一個metastore_db目錄。這種存儲方式的弊端是在同一個目錄下同時只能有一個hive客戶端能使用數據庫,否則會提示如下錯誤:
