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)
