## HIVE connections

The HIVE connection functions the same as a JDBC connection. It also supplies the JDBC driver and metadata information which are the same as JDBC. However, it expands many native functions to support non SQL and huge data, which are not supported by JDBC. The libraries from CDH4.1.1 that support HIVE 0.9 are listed as below. You can add them in `<install_root>\lib` when needed:

- hadoop-common-2.0.0-cdh4.1.1.jar
- hadoop-core-2.0.0-mr1-cdh4.1.1.jar
- hive-exec-0.9.0-cdh4.1.1.jar
- hive-jdbc-0.9.0-cdh4.1.1.jar
- hive-metastore-0.9.0-cdh4.1.1.jar
- hive-service-0.9.0-cdh4.1.1.jar
- libfb303-0.7.0.jar
- libthrift-0.7.0.jar
- slf4j-api-1.6.1.jar
- slf4j-simple-1.6.1.jar

If you use higher HIVE versions, you can replace the libraries with new jars.
