Eugene Koifman updated HIVE-5198: --------------------------------- Description: The message might look like this: {"statement":"use default; show table extended like xyz;","error":"unable to show table: xyz","exec":{"stdout":"","stderr":"","exitcode":143}} WebHCat has a templeton.exec.timeout property which kills an HCat request (i.e. something like a DDL statement that gets routed to HCat CLI) if it takes longer than this timeout. Since WebHCat does a fork/exec to 'hcat' script, the timeout is implemented as SIGTERM sent to the subprocess. SIGTERM value is 15. So it's reported as 128 + 15 = 143. Error logging/reporting should be improved in this case. was: Filing this bug mostly to help anyone trying to decipher 143 error code which does not appear in the source code. In 0.12 error reporting was improved and this reports a stacktrace. This error code means that Metastore client could not connect to the metastore. This is likely a config issue with hive.metastore.uris not being set. The message might look like this: {"statement":"use default; show table extended like xyz;","error":"unable to show table: xyz","exec":{"stdout":"","stderr":"","exitcode":143}} > WebHCat returns exitcode 143 (w/o an explanation) > ------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-5198 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-5198 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Components: WebHCat > Affects Versions: 0.11.0 > Reporter: Eugene Koifman > Assignee: Eugene Koifman > Fix For: 0.13.0 > > > The message might look like this: > {"statement":"use default; show table extended like xyz;","error":"unable to > show table: xyz","exec":{"stdout":"","stderr":"","exitcode":143}} > WebHCat has a templeton.exec.timeout property which kills an HCat request > (i.e. something like a DDL statement that gets routed to HCat CLI) if it > takes longer than this timeout. > Since WebHCat does a fork/exec to 'hcat' script, the timeout is implemented > as SIGTERM sent to the subprocess.
