Connect to Hive Metastore cluster

Last update: November 12 2026Open in Markdown

You can only connect to the Hive Metastore cluster from a private subnet. The following protocols are supported for connection:

• Thrift — the standard Hive Metastore protocol for managing table metadata. Port 9083 is used;

• REST — HTTP API for working with Iceberg tables. Port 8080 is used.
