HIVE BASIC
Stores username and password credentials for a Hive metastore.
HIVE BASIC is the sixth entry in the Secret Type dropdown and it's available at all three scopes: User, Workspace and Tenant. Use it when your Hive metastore authenticates with a username and password rather than through Kerberos, which is the alternative we support under HIVE KERBEROS.
Unlike ENVIRONMENT VARIABLE, this type describes a credential we understand, so we can exercise it before you depend on it. Validating the secret confirms that the username and password combination actually authenticates before a cluster depends on it, and binding the optional Metastore dropdown associates the credential with a specific metastore registration instead of leaving that association to be configured separately.

A validated secret is a secret that authenticated at least once.
