   How can I add Hive server properties?

   The Hive driver shipped with Strategy allows you to set Hive server properties. Adding server side parameters can allow you to indicate which TEZ execution queue the query should go to when running Hive on TEZ (SSP_tez.queue.name), define the execution engine (SSP_hive.execution.mode), or indicate whether to execute jobs in parallel (SSP_hive.exec.parallel).

   To use these properties:

   1. In the Data Source dialog, click Show connection string.
   2. Select Edit connection string.

   3. In the Connection String dialog, add the following parameter:

      {SPP_[SSPKEY]=[SSPValue]}

      For example:

      {SSP_mapred.queue.names=myQueue}

   After the driver applies the server side property, the SSP_prefix is removed from the DSN entry and only the SSP Key and SSP Value remain.

   To add these parameters in Windows, click Advanced Options in the Strategy Hive ODBC Driver DSN Setup. Select Server Side Properties and enter the parameter.

8. Click OK.
