Hi, After seeing your mail, i came to know that you are trying to update and delete operations on Hive 1.0.
For doing the same, After extracting Hive version, you have to create Hive meta store http://www.cloudera.com/content/cloudera/en/documentation/cdh5/v5-1-x/CDH5-Installation-Guide/cdh5ig_hive_metastore_configure.html Then in hive-site.xml, you need set the new parameters like hive.support.concurrency – true hive.enforce.bucketing – true hive.exec.dynamic.partition.mode – nonstrict hive.txn.manager – org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.lockmgr.DbTxnManager hive.compactor.initiator.on – true hive.compactor.worker.threads – 1 Then restart Hive-server and Metastore Now create one normal table and one external table with orc format and load from normal to orc table Now you can update and delete records. Let me know any concerns. *Thanks & Regards,* *Srinivas T* On Thu, Mar 5, 2015 at 4:51 PM, David Simoes <david.sim...@ua.pt> wrote: > Ive had some troubles enabling transactions in Hive 1.0.0 and Ive made a > post in > http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28867368/hive-transactions-are-crashing > > Could anyone check it out and give me some pointers on why things are > crashing? > > Tyvm, Dave > >
