Hexspace

Ruby client for Apache Spark SQL and Apache Hive

Installation

Add this line to your application’s Gemfile:

gem "hexspace"

Getting Started

Create a client

client = Hexspace::Client.new

Execute queries

client.execute("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM users")

Connection Options

There are a number of connection options available.

Hexspace::Client.new(
  host: "localhost",
  port: 10000,
  username: "user",
  password: "secret",
  database: "default",
  mode: :sasl,
  timeout: 10
)

Supported modes are :sasl, :nosasl, :http, and :https. Please create an issue if you need Kerberos.

The timeout is in seconds and only applies to :sasl and :nosasl.

Query Options

Set a timeout

client.execute(statement, timeout: 10)

Get a Hexspace::Result object instead of an array of hashes

result = client.execute(statement, result_object: true)
result.rows
result.columns
result.column_types
result.to_a

Spark SQL Setup
