Hi Everybody, I am using Apache's Hadoop-0.20.2 and Apache's Hive-0.7.0. I have a 2 node cluster. One Redhat Linux 6.0(Hadoop Server) and other Windows 7 using Cygwin. The Hadoop cluster is working fine. I have checked by executing various examples provided with Hadoop. Map reduce jobs are being executed fine. For Hive I am using MySQL for metastore with following configuration is hive-site.xml :
<property> <name>javax.jdo.option.ConnectionURL</name> <value>jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/metastore?createDatabaseIfNotExist=true</value> </property> <property> <name>javax.jdo.option.ConnectionDriverName</name> <value>com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</value> </property> <property> <name>javax.jdo.option.ConnectionUserName</name> <value>hiveuser</value> </property> <property> <name>javax.jdo.option.ConnectionPassword</name> <value>hiveuser</value> </property> <property> <name>datanucleus.autoCreateSchema</name> <value>false</value> </property> <property> <name>datanucleus.fixedDatastore</name> <value>true</value> </property> I created the DB and hiveuser in mysql using following commands: mysql> CREATE DATABASE metastore; mysql> USE metastore; mysql> SOURCE /usr/local/hive/scripts/metastore/upgrade/mysql/hive-schema-0.7.0.mysql.sql; mysql> CREATE USER 'hiveuser'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'hiveuser'; mysql> GRANT ALL ON metastore.* TO 'hiveuser'@'%'; I created a table using the following command on hive: hive> Create table abcd(ab int, cd string) row format delimited fields terminated by '#' stored as textfile; Then I created a file abcddata.txt containing the following data 11#aa 22#bb 33#cc Then I loaded this data into table abcd using : Hive> Load sata local inpath 'path/to/abcd.txt' into table abcd; Now when I execute "select * from abcd" it runs successfully and shows the data in abcd. But if I run "select ab from abcd" or " select * from abcd where cd='aa'" it returns error: FAILED: Execution Error, return code 2 from org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.MapRedTask In the logs I found: Caused by: java.util.NoSuchElementException at java.util.Vector.lastElement(Vector.java:456) at com.sun.beans.ObjectHandler.lastExp(ObjectHandler.java:134) at com.sun.beans.ObjectHandler.dequeueResult(ObjectHandler.java:138) at java.beans.XMLDecoder.readObject(XMLDecoder.java:201) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.Utilities.deserializeMapRedWork(Utilities.java:462) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.Utilities.getMapRedWork(Utilities.java:184) And when I tried to access Hive from a java program using connection string: (jdbc:mysql://master:3306/metastore","hiveuser","hiveuser") Running command "describe abcd" it returns: Exception in thread "main" com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.MySQLSyntaxErrorException: Table 'metastore.abcd' doesn't exist Then on the mysql server I ran: mysql> use metastore; mysql> show tables; The table abcd is not there. The table is not being stored in the mysql metastore db. So how come on Hive CLI, when I do "select * from abcd" it shows the data in the table. And "show tables" shows abcd there. It means Hive CLI is not using the mysql metastore for storing and "select *" statement but whenever it's a statement that requires map reduce jobs or while accessing via java program using connection string it uses mysql metastore. It must be some configuration mistake I think. Please help me out.
