The below change in configuration parameter in hive-site.xml fixed the
issue
<name>hive.metastore.schema.verification</name>
<value>false</value>
<description>
It was TRUE earlier later i changed it to False.
Not sure if its an issue with Hive or expected behaviour
Even ,when i tried to start metastore following error popped up
MetaException(message:Version information not found in metastore. )
at
org.apache.hadoop.hive.metastore.ObjectStore.checkSchema(ObjectStore.java:5638)
