A Hive token is a lightweight authentication method used in the Hive ecosystem. It is created by the NameNode when a client establishes a connection and stored in memory. This token serves as an authorization mechanism, allowing clients to access Hive resources without repeatedly authenticating. Hive tokens are periodically cleaned up by a dedicated thread to ensure their validity and security.
