HiveServer2
HiveServer2 (HS2) is a server interface that enables remote clients to execute queries against hive and retrieve the results. The current thirft RPC based implementation is an improved version of HiveServer that supports multi-client concurrency and authentication. It is designed to provide better support for open API clients like JDBC and ODBC. The thrift IDL is available at https://github.com/apache/hive/blob/trunk/service/if/TCLIService.thrift
