dbt-hive

The dbt-hive adapter allows you to use dbt along with Apache Hive and Cloudera Data Platform

Getting started

Credits

The initial adapter code was developed by bachng2017 who agreed to transfer the ownership and continue active development. This code base is now being actively developed and maintained by Cloudera.

Requirements

Current version of dbt-hive uses dbt-core 1.11.*. We are actively working on supporting the next available version of dbt-core.

Python >= 3.10 dbt-core ~= 1.11.* impyla == 0.22

Install

pip3 install --user dbt-hive

Incremental

Incremental models are explained in dbt documentation. This section covered the details about the incremental strategy supported by the dbt-hive.

Strategy ACID Table Iceberg Table
Incremental Full-Refresh Yes Yes
Incremental Append Yes Yes
Incremental Append with Partitions Yes Yes
Incremental Insert Overwrite Not recommended without Partitions* Not recommended without Partitions*
Incremental Insert Overwrite with Partitions Yes No
Incremental Merge Yes Yes* (only v2)
Incremental Merge with Partitions No* Yes* (only v2)

Note*:

  1. Incremental Insert overwrite without the partition columns results into completely overwriting the full table and may result in the data-loss. Hence it is not recommended to used. This can happen for Hive ACID, Iceberg v1 & v2 tables.
  2. Incremental Merge for iceberg v1 table is not supported because Iceberg v1 tables are not transactional.
  3. Incremental Merge with partition columns is not supported because Hive ACID tables doesn't support updating values of partition columns.

Support for On-Schema Change strategy in dbt-hive:

Strategy ACID Table Iceberg Table
ignore (default) Supported Supported
fail Supported Supported
append_new_columns Adds new columns Adds new columns
sync_all_columns Adds new columns and updates datatypes but doesn't remove existing columns Adds new columns, updates datatypes and removes existing columns
