Create Server
CREATE EXTENSION hdfs_fdw;
CREATE SERVER hdfs_server FOREIGN DATA WRAPPER hdfs_fdw
OPTIONS (host '127.0.0.1', port '10000', client_type 'hiveserver2');Server Options: host (default localhost), port (default 10000), client_type (hiveserver2 or spark, default hiveserver2), auth_type (NOSASL or LDAP), connect_timeout (default 300), fetch_size (default 10000), log_remote_sql (default false), use_remote_estimate (default false), enable_join_pushdown (default true), enable_aggregate_pushdown (default true), enable_order_by_pushdown (default true).
Create User Mapping
CREATE USER MAPPING FOR postgres SERVER hdfs_server
OPTIONS (username 'hive_user', password 'hive_password');For NOSASL authentication, omit the OPTIONS clause entirely.
Create Foreign Table
CREATE FOREIGN TABLE weblogs (
client_ip text,
http_status_code text,
uri text,
request_count bigint
)
SERVER hdfs_server
OPTIONS (dbname 'default', table_name 'weblogs');Table Options: dbname (default default), table_name (defaults to foreign table name), enable_join_pushdown, enable_aggregate_pushdown, enable_order_by_pushdown.
Query
SELECT client_ip, count(*) FROM weblogs GROUP BY client_ip ORDER BY count(*) DESC LIMIT 10;Spark Example
CREATE SERVER spark_server FOREIGN DATA WRAPPER hdfs_fdw
OPTIONS (host '127.0.0.1', port '10000', client_type 'spark');
CREATE USER MAPPING FOR postgres SERVER spark_server
OPTIONS (username 'spark_user', password 'spark_pass');
CREATE FOREIGN TABLE spark_table (

)
SERVER spark_server
OPTIONS (dbname 'default', table_name 'my_table');Pushdown Features
hdfs_fdw pushes down WHERE clauses, JOINs, aggregate functions, ORDER BY, and LIMIT/OFFSET to the remote Hive/Spark server. Control pushdown at the session level:
SET hdfs_fdw.enable_join_pushdown = on;
SET hdfs_fdw.enable_aggregate_pushdown = on;
SET hdfs_fdw.enable_order_by_pushdown = on;
SET hdfs_fdw.enable_limit_pushdown = on;
