hey everyone, I've got supplied with a decent ten node CDH 4.4 cluster, only 7 days old, and someone tried some HBase stuff on it. I wanted to apply my (on another cluster working) workflow's to that cluster (consisting of HiveQL Scripts and Oozie Workflows) but unfortunately i the following issue: When trying to drop some select statement on any table (sample tables or tables regarding my workflow) i get the following error stack (from beeswax and from Hive CLI):
java.io.IOException: org.apache.hadoop.ipc.RemoteException(java.lang.NullPointerException): java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.blockmanagement.DatanodeManager.sortLocatedBlocks(DatanodeManager.java:334) at org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.namenode.FSNamesystem.getBlockLocations(FSNamesystem.java:1245) at org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.namenode.NameNodeRpcServer.getBlockLocations(NameNodeRpcServer.java:413) at org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.protocolPB.ClientNamenodeProtocolServerSideTranslatorPB.getBlockLocations(ClientNamenodeProtocolServerSideTranslatorPB.java:172) at org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.protocol.proto.ClientNamenodeProtocolProtos$ClientNamenodeProtocol$2.callBlockingMethod(ClientNamenodeProtocolProtos.java:44938) at org.apache.hadoop.ipc.ProtobufRpcEngine$Server$ProtoBufRpcInvoker.call(ProtobufRpcEngine.java:453) at org.apache.hadoop.ipc.RPC$Server.call(RPC.java:1002) at org.apache.hadoop.ipc.Server$Handler$1.run(Server.java:1751) at org.apache.hadoop.ipc.Server$Handler$1.run(Server.java:1747) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at javax.security.auth.Subject.doAs(Subject.java:396) at org.apache.hadoop.security.UserGroupInformation.doAs(UserGroupInformation.java:1408) at org.apache.hadoop.ipc.Server$Handler.run(Server.java:1745) I tried already setting up a new table (blank) and inserting some dummy data, but the error keeps the same. Some connection between HDFS and Hive regarind block information seems to be broken. Any idea how to fix this or where the configuration is to get rid of this or what other things we should check?
