thrift安装使用——python客户端通过thrift调用hive

Thrift是一个跨语言服务部署框架，最初由Facebook于2007年开发，后于2008年进入Apache孵化器(Apache Incubator)。
类似于SOAP，google protobuf，COM 和CORBA，Thrift通过定义一个中间定义语言和Thrift代码生成工具，生成指定语言的代码。
目前，Thrift支持C++,Java, Python, PHP, Ruby, Erlang, Perl, Haskell, C#, Cocoa, Smalltalk和OCaml的代码生成。

1安装thrift
安裝需要使用到的套件：
sudo apt-get install libboost-dev libevent-dev python-dev automake pkg-config libtool flex bison g++

編譯與安裝thrift：
wget http://ftp.tcc.edu.tw/pub/Apache//incubator/thrift/0.5.0-incubating/thrift-0.5.0.tar.gz
tar -xvf thrift-0.5.0.tar.gz

mv thrift-0.5.0 thrift

cd thrift

./configure

make

sudo make install

2安装好python thrift模块，但是无法加载
>>> from thrift.transport import TTransport
Traceback (most recent call last):
from thrift.transport import TTransport
ImportError: No module named thrift.transport
然而模块文件存在，/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/thrift/transport/TTransport.py

$ python
Python 2.6.2 (release26-maint, Apr 19 2009, 01:56:41)
[GCC 4.3.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import sys
>>> sys.path
['',
'/usr/lib/python2.6',
'/usr/lib/python2.6/plat-linux2',
'/usr/lib/python2.6/lib-tk',
'/usr/lib/python2.6/lib-old',
'/usr/lib/python2.6/lib-dynload',
'/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages',
'/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/Numeric',
'/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/PIL',
'/var/lib/python-support/python2.6',
'/var/lib/python-support/python2.6/gtk-2.0',
'/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages']
(note that "site-packages" is not in the list). I assume that I configured my thrift code when the paths were different in my system, and some upgrade changed python directories. So when I "make install" thrift, they are still copied into site-packages. Now, having thrift already installed there, it is a matter of adding this dir to the search path. This is done with sys.path.append, according to python's documentation:
>>> sys.path.append('/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages')
>>> sys.path
['',
'/usr/lib/python2.6',
(...)
'/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages',
'/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages']
>>> from thrift.transport import TTransport
(No error message now)

在.bashrc文件中加入:
export PYTHONPATH=/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages

3启动Hive Thrift Server
(hive --service hiveserver)
afan@ubuntu:/usr/local/hadoop$ hive --service hiveserver
Starting Hive Thrift Server
Hive histroy file=/tmp/afan/hive_job_log_afan_201106272202_1106483111.txt
OK

4代码
#!/usr/bin/env python
import sys
sys.path.append('/usr/local/hadoop/hive/lib/py')
from hive_service import ThriftHive
from hive_service.ttypes import HiveServerException
from thrift import Thrift
from thrift.transport import TSocket
from thrift.transport import TTransport
from thrift.protocol import TBinaryProtocol

def hiveExe(sql):

try:
transport = TSocket.TSocket('127.0.0.1', 10000)
transport = TTransport.TBufferedTransport(transport)
protocol = TBinaryProtocol.TBinaryProtocol(transport)
client = ThriftHive.Client(protocol)
transport.open()

client.execute(sql)

print "The return value is : "
print client.fetchAll()
print "............"
transport.close()
except Thrift.TException, tx:
print '%s' % (tx.message)

if __name__ == '__main__':
hiveExe("select * from t_afan_test")

5执行
afan@ubuntu:~/py-impl$ python py-thrift.py
The return value is:
['[12,23,23,34]\t["what","are","this"]','[34,45,34,23,12]\t["who","am","i","are"]']
...................

afan@ubuntu:/usr/local/hadoop/hive/lib/py$ ls
