Title: Using Kerberos with Superset and PyHive to connect to a thrift server

[anamitraadhikari]

Hello PyHive community,

I'm currently using PyHive to connect to a Hive Thrift server that requires Kerberos authentication.

Request for Help:
Could you provide an example or some guidance on how to correctly set up Kerberos authentication for a PyHive connection from Superset, particularly when connecting to a Kerberos-enabled Hive Thrift server?
Are there any additional libraries or dependencies that I need for PyHive to handle Kerberos authentication seamlessly in this context?

Specifically, how can I properly utilize configuration files like krb5.conf or a keytab file to ensure a smooth connection? It would be helpful to understand how to set these up in the environment so that the authentication can proceed without manual intervention.
I haven't found specific examples on this topic, and any advice, particularly regarding the integration flow, dependencies, and configuration steps, would be highly appreciated.
