Configuring HTTPS/HTTP-based REST APIs¶
Scenario¶
WebHCat provides external REST APIs for Hive. By default, the open-source community version uses the HTTP protocol.
MRS Hive supports the HTTPS protocol that is more secure, and enables switchover between the HTTP protocol and the HTTPS protocol.
Note
The security mode supports HTTPS and HTTP, and the common mode supports only HTTP.
Procedure¶
The Hive service configuration page is displayed.
Log in to FusionInsight Manager. For details, see Accessing FusionInsight Manager. And choose Cluster > Name of the desired cluster > Services > Hive > Configurations > All Configurations.
Modify the Hive configuration.
Choose WebHCat > Security. On the page that is displayed, select HTTPS or HTTP. After the modification, restart the Hive service to use the corresponding protocol.
