Hi, we had been running cloudera distribution of hadoop. We installed hive following this document https://wiki.cloudera.com/display/DOC/Hive+Installation. hive-site.xml was later modified for storing metastore in mysql very similar to the config in this blog http://blog.milford.io/2010/06/installing-apache-hive-with-a-mysql-metastore-in-centos/
I have set hadoop configs in hive-site.xml correctly and also I can connect to mysql server fs.default.name mapred.job.tracker hadoop.bin.path hadoop.config.dir hive.exec.scratchdir - set to /tmp on hdfs hive.metastore.local - true javax.jdo.option.ConnectionURL - jdbc:mysql://mysqlserver:3306/hadoop?createDatabaseIfNotExist=true javax.jdo.option.ConnectionUserName javax.jdo.option.ConnectionPassword javax.jdo.option.ConnectionDriverName hive.metastore.warehouse.dir - /user/hive/warehouse on hdfs I have also copied mysql-connector-java-5.0.8-bin.jar to /usr/lib/hive/lib I can see the database getting created in mysql. I have also deleted derby metastore directory and all lock files. I have created tmp and warehouse directory on hdfs and have assigned r+w permissions to it. When I start hive in cli and run show table command I get this error aws-qahdn01:~# hive -hiveconf hive.root.logger=INFO,console Hive history file=/tmp/root/hive_job_log_root_201101191558_1388620546.txt 11/01/19 15:58:45 INFO exec.HiveHistory: Hive history file=/tmp/root/hive_job_log_root_201101191558_1388620546.txt hive> show tables; 11/01/19 15:58:50 INFO parse.ParseDriver: Parsing command: show tables 11/01/19 15:58:51 INFO parse.ParseDriver: Parse Completed 11/01/19 15:58:51 INFO ql.Driver: Semantic Analysis Completed 11/01/19 15:58:51 INFO ql.Driver: Starting command: show tables 11/01/19 15:58:51 INFO metastore.HiveMetaStore: 0: Opening raw store with implemenation class:org.apache.hadoop.hive.metastore.ObjectStore 11/01/19 15:58:51 INFO metastore.ObjectStore: ObjectStore, initialize called 11/01/19 15:58:51 ERROR DataNucleus.Plugin: Bundle "org.eclipse.jdt.core" requires "org.eclipse.core.resources" but it cannot be resolved. 11/01/19 15:58:51 ERROR DataNucleus.Plugin: Bundle "org.eclipse.jdt.core" requires "org.eclipse.core.runtime" but it cannot be resolved. 11/01/19 15:58:51 ERROR DataNucleus.Plugin: Bundle "org.eclipse.jdt.core" requires "org.eclipse.text" but it cannot be resolved. 11/01/19 15:58:53 INFO metastore.ObjectStore: Initialized ObjectStore 11/01/19 15:58:53 WARN conf.Configuration: hdfs-site.xml:a attempt to override final parameter: dfs.data.dir; Ignoring.
