I'm getting into an issue when trying to run hive over the hadoop cluster. The hadoop cluster is working fine, in a stand alone manner. I'm using hadoop 0.20.2 and hive 0.7.0 versions.
The problem is that the hive is not considering the fs.default.name property that I am setting in the core-site.xml or the mapred.job.tracker in the mapred-site.xml files. It always considers that namenode can be accessed at localhost (refer to the stack trace below) So I have specified these properties in the hive-site.xml file as well. I tried making them as final in the hive-site.xml file, but didn't get the intended result. Further, I set the above properties through command line as well. Again, no success. I looked at the hive code for 0.7.0 branch to debug the issue, to see if it getting fs.default.name property from the file hive-site.xml, which it does through clone of the JobConf. So no issues here. Further, in hive-site.xml, if I make any of the properties as final, then hive gives me a WARNING log. as below : *WARN conf.Configuration (Configuration.java:loadResource(1154)) - file:/usr/local/hive-0.7.0/conf/hive-site.xml:a attempt to override final parameter: hive.metastore.warehouse.dir; Ignoring.* >From the above message I can assume that it has already read the property(don't know from where, or it may be trying to read the property multiple times), but I have explicitly specified the hive conf folder in the hive-env.sh. Below is the stack trace I'm getting in the log file: *2011-05-23 15:11:00,793 ERROR CliDriver (SessionState.java:printError(343)) - Failed with exception java.io.IOException:java.net.ConnectException: Call to localhost/127.0.0.1:54310 failed on connection exception: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused java.io.IOException: java.net.ConnectException: Call to localhost/ 127.0.0.1:54310 failed on connection exception: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.FetchOperator.getNextRow(FetchOperator.java:341) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.FetchTask.fetch(FetchTask.java:133) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.Driver.getResults(Driver.java:1114) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.cli.CliDriver.processCmd(CliDriver.java:187) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.cli.CliDriver.processLine(CliDriver.java:241) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.cli.CliDriver.main(CliDriver.java:456) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:597) at org.apache.hadoop.util.RunJar.main(RunJar.java:156) Caused by: java.net.ConnectException: Call to localhost/127.0.0.1:54310failed on connection exception: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused at org.apache.hadoop.ipc.Client.wrapException(Client.java:767) at org.apache.hadoop.ipc.Client.call(Client.java:743) at org.apache.hadoop.ipc.RPC$Invoker.invoke(RPC.java:220) at $Proxy4.getProtocolVersion(Unknown Source) at org.apache.hadoop.ipc.RPC.getProxy(RPC.java:359) at org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.DFSClient.createRPCNamenode(DFSClient.java:106) at org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.DFSClient.<init>(DFSClient.java:207) at org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.DFSClient.<init>(DFSClient.java:170) at org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.DistributedFileSystem.initialize(DistributedFileSystem.java:82) at org.apache.hadoop.fs.FileSystem.createFileSystem(FileSystem.java:1378) at org.apache.hadoop.fs.FileSystem.access$200(FileSystem.java:66) at org.apache.hadoop.fs.FileSystem$Cache.get(FileSystem.java:1390) at org.apache.hadoop.fs.FileSystem.get(FileSystem.java:196) at org.apache.hadoop.fs.Path.getFileSystem(Path.java:175) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.FetchOperator.getNextPath(FetchOperator.java:241) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.FetchOperator.getRecordReader(FetchOperator.java:259) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.FetchOperator.getNextRow(FetchOperator.java:320) ... 10 more Caused by: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused at sun.nio.ch.SocketChannelImpl.checkConnect(Native Method) at sun.nio.ch.SocketChannelImpl.finishConnect(SocketChannelImpl.java:567) at org.apache.hadoop.net.SocketIOWithTimeout.connect(SocketIOWithTimeout.java:206) at org.apache.hadoop.net.NetUtils.connect(NetUtils.java:404) at org.apache.hadoop.ipc.Client$Connection.setupIOstreams(Client.java:304) at org.apache.hadoop.ipc.Client$Connection.access$1700(Client.java:176) at org.apache.hadoop.ipc.Client.getConnection(Client.java:860) at org.apache.hadoop.ipc.Client.call(Client.java:720) ... 25 more * Has anybody encountered similar issues earlier ? any thoughts towards resolving the above issue would be helpful Thanks.
