Hi, I found answer for this issue. It was related to metastore_db. Server and client were on different metastore_db.

Case: I am trying to create a hive table for existing HBase table. So i have started hiveserver via /hive -service hiveserver. In logs I can see it is printing by my sql with "CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE". But somehow that table is not getting created in Hive. Interesting point is running the sql command from command line with Hive is running fine. This behavior is random. Sometimes it shows me all created tables in Hive(when I use "SHOW TABLES"). Does it have something to do with 'metastore_db'? Any idea? ________________________________ Register for Impetus Webinar on 'Building Highly Scalable and Flexible SaaS Solutions' on Dec 10 (10:00 a.m. PT). Click http://www.impetus.com to know more.
