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) On Wed, Aug 6, 2014 at 9:28 PM, Divakar Reddy <divakarredd...@gmail.com<mailto:divakarredd...@gmail.com>> wrote: It seems your hive metastore is down. restart it and try again.
