Hi Van Hive doesn’t supported multiple connections now. it's impossible for HiveServer to support concurrent connections using the current Thrift API you can see: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-2935 https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/download/attachments/27362054/HiveServer2HadoopSummit2012BoF.pdf?version=1&modificationDate=1339790767000

It looks like the server serves the request sequentially, which means it processes each request one by one. Am I wrong here? I make two clients, which make two requests (select data) to two different in hive; judging by the terminal screen of the hive server, it processes one request, finishes it, and process the other. Van
