What?

Packing hive thrift client in more Pythonic way.

Why?

Hive thrift libraries taken from CDH4 distribution and then mucked around to make the imports work.

How?

In code

::

import hiver
client = hiver.connect(host, port)
client.execute('SHOW TABLES')
rows = client.fetchAll()

Command line

Poor mans hive client

::

python -m hiver [script]
