Measures reported by HiveServer2ConnTest

Monitoring client connections to an Apache Hive data warehouse typically provide insights into the workload of the warehouse and whether/not the warehouse is sized well-enough to handle the load. This is exactly the type of visibility the Hive Connections test provides. This test tracks client connections to the target warehouse. With the help of the metrics reported by this test, administrators can determine whether/not the warehouse has sufficient connections to handle subsequent connection requests. Based on these insights, administrators can plan the future connection capacity of the warehouse.

Outputs of the test: One set of results for the target Apache Hive

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
openConn Indicates the count of incoming connections from clients to the data warehouse. Number

This is a good measure of the current load on the data warehouse.
openOp Indicates the count of open operations in the data warehouse. Number

Ideally, the value of this measure should be zero.
