Hi Can you do #netstat -nl | grep 10000
Hive is compatible with 0.20.2 series , not with 1.x series of Hadoop If you start Hive server with Hadoop 0.20 it would work ----- Original Message ----- From: ylyy-1985 Sent: 04/10/12 08:33 AM To: user Subject: cannot start the thrift server hi all, I do feel frustrated when starting the thrift server. I tried different version of hadoop(1.0.1 and 0.20.2), but when I tried 'hive --service hiveserver', the server hung there and printed the following info: [root@localhost hive]# hive --service hiveserver Starting Hive Thrift Server 12/04/10 20:22:50 INFO service.HiveServer: Starting hive server on port 10000 and I wait long but nothing happened. pls help, I just want to start the server and use jdbc to connect to hive. thanks in advanced. 2012-04-10 ----------------------------------------------------------------- Andes
