I am trying to run Apache Hive 1.2.0 on Hadoop 2.6.0 on a cluster. My hadoop cluster comes up fine (I start hdfs and yarn) and then I create required tmp and warehouse directories in HDFS and I try to start Hive CLI (I do not do anything with HCatalog or Hiveserver2) but I keep getting errors related to metastore (See below). Replacing Hive 1.2.0 with Hive 0.13, it just works fine.
Is there anything changed regarding starting Hive 1.X on Hadoop 2.X from Hive 0.X ? (This is the first time I am trying Hive on Hadoop 2) Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to instantiate org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.metadata.SessionHiveMetaStoreClient at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.session.SessionState.start(SessionState.java:519) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.cli.CliDriver.run(CliDriver.java:677) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.cli.CliDriver.main(CliDriver.java:621) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:57) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:606) at org.apache.hadoop.util.RunJar.run(RunJar.java:221) at org.apache.hadoop.util.RunJar.main(RunJar.java:136) Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to instantiate org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.metadata.SessionHiveMetaStoreClient at org.apache.hadoop.hive.metastore.MetaStoreUtils.newInstance(MetaStoreUtils.java:1523) ….
