could you execute "set hive.txn.manager" and "set hive.metastore.uris" in Hive CLI to confirm that your client is configured correctly?

Yes I've run metastore scripts for oracle instance. Infact I've removed my previous metastore and created a fresh one by running the schema creation script for 1.2.1. I've looked into the new schema and able to see the table TXNS. I've also removed the hdfs location "/user/hive/warehouse" and created a fresh one. But still I'm facing this issue.

This error message usually means the transaction related tables have not been created in your database. Somewhere in your distribution there should be a set of upgrade scripts. Look for scripts of the form: scripts/metastore/upgrade/oracle/upgrade-0.13.0-to-0.14.0.oracle.sql You'll want to run all of the ones from 0.13 to 1.2 (0.13->0.14, 0.14->1.1, 1.1->1.2). The 0.13->0.14 scripts assume that you added the transaction tables as part of upgrading to Hive 0.13. If you did not you will need to first run hive-txn-schema-0.13.0.oracle.sql which will create the initial transaction tables. You can determine whether this was done by looking for a table named TXNS in the hive schema on your Oracle db. Alan.

I downloaded hive 1.2.1, created a metastore in oracle database and provided all the required configuration parameters in conf/hive-site.xml to enable transactions. For the parameter "hive.txn.manager" given the value "org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.lockmgr.DbTxnManager". >From the hive prompt when I fire the command "show tables;" I'm getting the >below exception - FAILED: Error in determining valid transactions: Error communicating with the metastore But if disable the "hive.txn.manager" parameter in hive-site.xml then the command works fine. Is there anything else to be configured which I'm missing? Thanks & Regards, Sarath.
