A Go's database/sql driver connecting to Hive's Thrift Server 2

GoHive: A Go database/sql Driver for Hive

To access databases, Go programmers call the standard library database/sql, which relies on drivers to talk to database management systems. GoHive is such a driver that talks to Hive via HiveServer2, a Thrift server.

We found many open source Hive clients in Go. However we cannot find one completely compatible with the database/sql driver interface define in Go's standard library, so we developed our own solution and will continue to maintain and improve this project in the long run.

For Users

GoHive is go-gettable. Please run the following command to install it:

go get sqlflow.org/gohive

sqlflow.org/gohive is a vanity import path of GoHive.

For Developers
