It provides a higher-level interface for executing DDL (Data Definition Language) operations\u2014such as creating, modifying, and dropping databases and tables\u2014without writing raw Thrift calls. The package depends only on thrift and supports Python 3.7 and later.\n\nTypically used in data engineering workflows where you need to programmatically manage Hive metadata from Python code. It abstracts the Thrift connection and serialization details, offering builder patterns and context managers to simplify common operations. The library is suitable for automation scripts, data pipelines, and integration layers that need to interact with Hive Metastore.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need to interact with Hive Metastore from Python and can work around the unclear license. The package has low install friction, no known vulnerabilities, and active repository maintenance. However, verify the license terms before use in commercial projects, and note that the latest release is over 4 years old\u2014test compatibility with your Hive version before deploying to production."},"id":"hive-metastore-client","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/hive-metastore-client","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/hive-metastore-client.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/hive-metastore-client/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2021-08-23","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"unclear","name":"hive-metastore-client","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"A client for connecting and running DDLs on Hive Metastore with Thrift protocol"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":320087,"position":7639,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.0.9"}
