I'm on a W8 machine, where I use Python (Anaconda distribution) to connect to Impala in our Hadoop cluster using the Impyla package. Our hadoop cluster is secured via Kerberos. I have followed the API REFERENCE how to configure the connection.
from impala.dbapi import connect
conn = connect( host='localhost', port=21050, auth_mechanism='GSSAPI',
kerberos_service_name='impala')
We are using Kerberos GSSAPI with SASL
auth_mechanism='GSSAPI'
I have managed to install python-sasl library for WIN8 but still I encounter this error.
Could not start SASL: Error in sasl_client_start (-4) SASL(-4): no mechanism available: No worthy mechs found (code THRIFTTRANSPORT): TTransportException('Could not start SASL: Error in sasl_client_start (-4) SASL(-4): no mechanism available: No worthy mechs found',)
I wonder if I am still missing some dependencies.
For me, installing this package fixed it: libsasl2-modules-gssapi-mit
For me, the following connection parameters worked. I did not have to install any additional packages in python.
connect(host="your_host", port=21050, auth_mechanism='GSSAPI', timeout=100000, use_ssl=False, ca_cert=None, ldap_user=None, ldap_password=None, kerberos_service_name='impala')
To connection Impala using python you can follow below steps,
- Install Coludera ODBC Driver for Impala.
Create DSN using 64-bit ODBC driver, put your server details, below is sample screen shot for same
Use below code snippet for connectivity
import pyodbc
with pyodbc.connect("DSN=impala_con", autocommit=True) as conn:
... df = pd.read_sql("", conn)
I ran into the same issue but i fixed it by installing the right version of required libraries.
Install below python libraries using pip:
six==1.12.0
bit_array==0.1.0
thrift==0.9.3
thrift_sasl==0.2.1
sasl==0.2.1
impyla==0.13.8
Below code is working fine with the python
version 2.7
and 3.4
.
import ssl
from impala.dbapi import connect
import os
os.system("kinit")
conn = connect(host='hostname.io', port=21050, use_ssl=True, database='default', user='urusername', kerberos_service_name='impala', auth_mechanism = 'GSSAPI')
cur = conn.cursor()
cur.execute('SHOW DATABASES;')
result=cur.fetchall()
for data in result:
print (data)
Try this to get tables for kerberized cluster. In my case CDH-5.14.2-1.
Make sure you have a valid ticket before running this code.
with python 2.7
having below packages.
thrift-0.9.3
thriftpy-0.3.8
thrift_sasl-0.3.0
impyla==0.14.2.2
Working Code
from impala.dbapi import connect
from impala.util import as_pandas
# 21000 is impala daemon port.
conn = connect(host='yourHost', port=21050, auth_mechanism='GSSAPI')
cursor = conn.cursor()
cursor.execute("SHOW TABLES")
# After running .execute(), Impala will store the result sets on the server
# until it is fetched. Use the method .fetchall() to pull the entire result
# set over the network (you should only do it if you know dataset is small)
tables = cursor.fetchall()
print("Displaying list of tables")
# the result is a list of tuples
for t in tables:
# we know that each row in SHOW TABLES result
# should only contains one table name
print(t[0])
# exit() enable for only one table
print("eol >>>")
python cannot connect hiveserver2
make sure you install cyrus-sasl-devel and cyrus-sasl-gssapi
Install the kerberos
Python package, it will fix your issue.
