HiveRunner
An open-source unit test framework for Hive SQL queries, enabling TDD without installed dependencies via JUnit 4 and 5.
What is HiveRunner?
HiveRunner is an open-source unit test framework specifically designed for Apache Hive SQL queries. It allows developers to write, test, and validate Hive scripts in isolation without needing a full Hive installation, integrating directly with JUnit for familiar testing workflows. It solves the problem of untested, hard-to-maintain Hive SQL by enabling Test-Driven Development (TDD) for data pipelines.
Data engineers, ETL developers, and data platform teams who build and maintain Hive-based data pipelines and need to ensure SQL code quality and reliability.
Developers choose HiveRunner because it eliminates dependency headaches, provides a fast feedback loop for Hive SQL changes, and enforces modular, testable code patterns—reducing bugs in production data workflows.
