This connector was developed by the open-source community and made available through the ServiceNow AI Platform for general use. Functionality can vary and might not cover all use cases supported by primary connectors.

## Procedure

1. Navigate to the available community connectors in Zero Copy Connector Hub in one of the following ways:
   * Navigate to AllZero Copy Connector HubAvailable connectorsCommunity connectors.

   | Option | Description |
   | Hive Thrift | 1. Attach the truststore file using one of the following options: * Upload the truststore file by selecting Attach TrustStore file and selecting the file. * Copy and paste the contents of the truststore file. {#create-apache-hive-connection-zcc__ul_gnv_gjl_rfc} 2. Enter the truststore password. 3. Enter the metastore URI that you want to connect to using the Thrift protocol. For example: <kbd class="ph userinput">thrift://&lt;host&gt;:&lt;port&gt;</kbd> {#create-apache-hive-connection-zcc__ol_vrc_djl_rfc} |
   | AWS Glue | 1. Enter the AWS access key to connect to the Glue Catalog. 2. Enter the AWS secret key to use to connect to the Glue Catalog. 3. Enter the AWS region of the Glue Catalog. {#create-apache-hive-connection-zcc__ol_y1q_nkl_rfc} |

5. Select Connect.

## Result

A test connection is made to the external data source, verifying that the connection details are correct and the data source is accessible.

## What to do next

If the connection succeeds, configure data steward access on the Access Control tab. See [Manage access to an established connection using roles](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/kr8mlJMAdWNHxVz4wmb78w "Manage which data stewards can access an established connection and create data fabric tables.").

If the connection fails, verify the connection details with your data source administrator and try again.
