Thanks Deepesh. To use hive with embedded derby mode, I have put the below configuration in hive-site.xml. As suggested on the net, I ran "schematool -dbType derby -initSchema" and it created $HIVE_HOME/metastore_db folder.
Then as suggested by you, I ran "hive --service metastore". Strangely I'm getting exceptions related to SL4J -- *java.lang.IllegalAccessError: tried to access field org.slf4j.impl.StaticLoggerBinder.SINGLETON from class org.slf4j.LoggerFactory* Is there anything more to configure before starting? *hive-site.xml* <configuration> <property> <name>javax.jdo.option.ConnectionURL</name> <value>jdbc:derby:;databaseName=metastore_db;create=true</value> </property> <property> <name>hive.metastore.warehouse.dir</name> <value>/user/hive/warehouse</value> </property> <property> <name>hive.exec.scratchdir</name> <value>/tmp/hduser</value> </property> </configuration> On Tue, Jul 8, 2014 at 11:20 PM, D K <deepe...@gmail.com> wrote: > Did you start the Hive Metastore?
