JDBC Driver

Presto can be accessed from Java using the JDBC driver. Download presto-jdbc-0.290.jar and add it to the class path of your Java application.

The driver is also available from Maven Central:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.facebook.presto</groupId>
    <artifactId>presto-jdbc</artifactId>
    <version>0.290</version>
</dependency>

Requirements

The Presto JDBC driver has the following requirements:

  • Java version 8 or higher.

  • All users that connect to Presto with the JDBC driver must be granted access to query tables in the system.jdbc schema.

Connecting

The following JDBC URL formats are supported:

jdbc:presto://host:port
jdbc:presto://host:port/catalog
jdbc:presto://host:port/catalog/schema

For example, use the following URL to connect to Presto running on example.net port 8080 with the catalog hive and the schema sales:

jdbc:presto://example.net:8080/hive/sales

The above URL can be used as follows to create a connection:

String url = "jdbc:presto://example.net:8080/hive/sales";
Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection(url, "test", null);

Connection Parameters

The driver supports various parameters that may be set as URL parameters or as properties passed to DriverManager. Both of the following examples are equivalent:

// properties
String url = "jdbc:presto://example.net:8080/hive/sales";
Properties properties = new Properties();
properties.setProperty("user", "test");
properties.setProperty("password", "secret");
properties.setProperty("SSL", "true");
Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection(url, properties);

// URL parameters
String url = "jdbc:presto://example.net:8443/hive/sales?user=test&password=secret&SSL=true";
Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection(url);

These methods may be mixed; some parameters may be specified in the URL while others are specified using properties. However, the same parameter may not be specified using both methods.

Parameter Reference

Name

Description

user

Username to use for authentication and authorization.

password

Password to use for LDAP authentication.

socksProxy

SOCKS proxy host and port. Example: localhost:1080

httpProxy

HTTP proxy host and port. Example: localhost:8888

protocols

Comma delineated list of HTTP protocols to use. Example: protocols=http11. Acceptable values: http11,http10,http2

applicationNamePrefix

Prefix to append to any specified ApplicationName client info property, which is used to set the source name for the Presto query. If neither this property nor ApplicationName are set, the source for the query will be presto-jdbc.

accessToken

Access token for token based authentication.

timeZoneId

Timezone to be used for timestamp columns in query output. Example: timeZoneId=UTC.

disableCompression

Disable compression of query result HTTP responses from the server

SSL

Use HTTPS for connections

SSLKeyStorePath

The location of the Java KeyStore file that contains the certificate and private key to use for authentication.

SSLKeyStorePassword

The password for the KeyStore.

SSLTrustStorePath

The location of the Java TrustStore file that will be used to validate HTTPS server certificates.

SSLTrustStorePassword

The password for the TrustStore.

KerberosRemoteServiceName

Presto coordinator Kerberos service name. This parameter is required for Kerberos authentication.

KerberosPrincipal

The principal to use when authenticating to the Presto coordinator.

KerberosUseCanonicalHostname

Use the canonical hostname of the Presto coordinator for the Kerberos service principal by first resolving the hostname to an IP address and then doing a reverse DNS lookup for that IP address. This is enabled by default.

KerberosConfigPath

Kerberos configuration file.

KerberosKeytabPath

Kerberos keytab file.

KerberosCredentialCachePath

Kerberos credential cache.

extraCredentials

Extra credentials for connecting to external services. The extraCredentials is a list of key-value pairs. Example: foo:bar;abc:xyz will create credentials abc=xyz and foo=bar

customHeaders

Custom headers to inject through JDBC driver. The customHeaders is a list of key-value pairs. Example: testHeaderKey:testHeaderValue will inject the header testHeaderKey with value testHeaderValue. Values should be percent encoded.

validateNextUriSource

Validates that host and port in next URI does not change during query execution.

followRedirects

Disable Presto client to follow a redirect as a security measure.
