-dbType

数据库类型，只支持以下几种。

derby|mysql|postgres|oracle|mssql

如列出当前 schema 的信息

schematool -dbType mysql -info

结果如下：

Metastore connection URL:	 jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/hive?createDatabaseIfNotExist=true&characterEncoding=UTF-8
Metastore Connection Driver :	 com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
Metastore connection User:	 hive
Hive distribution version:	 3.1.0
Metastore schema version:	 3.1.0
schemaTool completed

-driver

连接后台数据库的驱动类名称。

schematool -dbType mysql -driver com.mysql.jdbc.Driver -info

-dryRun

仅仅列出要执行的SQL，不执行。

-passWord

覆盖 hive 配置中的 javax.jdo.option.ConnectionPassword参数。

-url

覆盖 hive 配置文件中的 javax.jdo.option.ConnectionURL 参数

schematool -dbType mysql -url 'jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/hive?createDatabaseIfNotExist=true&characterEncoding=UTF-8' -info

-userName

覆盖 hive 配置文件中的 javax.jdo.option.ConnectionUserName 参数

schematool -dbType mysql -userName hive -info

支持的命令

-info

列出当前元数据库信息

schematool -dbType mysql -info

schematool -dbType mysql -initSchema

-createCatalog

-ifNotExists ，仅不存在。

schematool -dbType mysql -createCatalog spark1 --catalogLocation '/user/spark/warehouse1' -catalogDescription 'spark description' -ifNotExists

Create catalog spark at location /user/spark/warehouse
Metastore connection URL:	 jdbc:mysql://master-e812d44/hive?createDatabaseIfNotExist=true&characterEncoding=UTF-8
Metastore Connection Driver :	 com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
Metastore connection User:	 hive
schemaTool completed

-alterCatalog

可选参数 --catalogLocation <location> 参数。
可选参数 --catalogDescription <description>

schematool -dbType mysql -alterCatalog spark1 --catalogLocation '/user/spark/warehouse' -catalogDescription 'spark description'

-metaDbType

仅仅在 -dbType hive 中使用，用于升级 hive 中的 system catalog。

schematool -dbType mysql \
-moveTable  t1  \
--fromCatalog hive \

--fromDatabase test \
--toDatabase dbw

-validate

验证当前元数据库是否正常。

schematool -dbType mysql -validate
