Bertrand, The Hive Server is a thrift service that provides an interface for Hive. You can connect to it using JDBC. It is not sure (out of box) as there is no userid and password restrictions. On the concurrency part, it is single threaded.......one query gets executed after the other.

Hi, I would like to have more information about this specific sentence from the documentation. "HiveServer can not handle concurrent requests from more than one client." https://cwiki.apache.org/Hive/hiveserver.html Does it mean it is not possible with this server to provide a JDBC access to an 'almost closed' environment for multiple users?
