Weirdly I’m experiencing exactly the same issue when trying to populate a Hive Table using INSERT OVERWRITE TABLE. We’re recently upgraded from Hive 0.13 to 1.2.1. NB. The Hive Table populates but the map-reduce returns an error code. I have run the hive Schema Tool: schematool -dbType mysql -upgradeSchemaFrom 0.13
The only table I can see with 767 size column is “PART_COL_STATS” - implemented in one of the metastore upgrade scripts. Column Name: PARTITION_NAME | varchar(767). <-- I changed this column to varchar(1000) but get the same message afterwards: ERROR jdbc.JDBCStatsPublisher: Error during JDBC initialization. com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.MySQLSyntaxErrorException: Specified key was too long; max key length is 767 bytes at sun.reflect.NativeConstructorAccessorImpl.newInstance0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeConstructorAccessorImpl.newInstance(NativeConstructorAccessorImpl.java:57) at sun.reflect.DelegatingConstructorAccessorImpl.newInstance(DelegatingConstructorAccessorImpl.java:45) at java.lang.reflect.Constructor.newInstance(Constructor.java:526) at com.mysql.jdbc.Util.handleNewInstance(Util.java:409) at com.mysql.jdbc.Util.getInstance(Util.java:384) at com.mysql.jdbc.SQLError.createSQLException(SQLError.java:1052) at com.mysql.jdbc.MysqlIO.checkErrorPacket(MysqlIO.java:4232) at com.mysql.jdbc.MysqlIO.checkErrorPacket(MysqlIO.java:4164) at com.mysql.jdbc.MysqlIO.sendCommand(MysqlIO.java:2615) at com.mysql.jdbc.MysqlIO.sqlQueryDirect(MysqlIO.java:2776) at com.mysql.jdbc.ConnectionImpl.execSQL(ConnectionImpl.java:2832) at com.mysql.jdbc.StatementImpl.executeUpdate(StatementImpl.java:1755) at com.mysql.jdbc.StatementImpl.executeUpdate(StatementImpl.java:1679) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.stats.jdbc.JDBCStatsPublisher.init(JDBCStatsPublisher.java:292) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.mr.ExecDriver.execute(ExecDriver.java:411) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.mr.MapRedTask.execute(MapRedTask.java:137) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.Task.executeTask(Task.java:160) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.TaskRunner.runSequential(TaskRunner.java:88) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.Driver.launchTask(Driver.java:1653) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.Driver.execute(Driver.java:1412) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.Driver.runInternal(Driver.java:1195) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.Driver.run(Driver.java:1059) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.Driver.run(Driver.java:1054) at org.apache.hive.service.cli.operation.SQLOperation.runQuery(SQLOperation.java:154) at org.apache.hive.service.cli.operation.SQLOperation.access$100(SQLOperation.java:71) at org.apache.hive.service.cli.operation.SQLOperation$1$1.run(SQLOperation.java:206) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at javax.security.auth.Subject.doAs(Subject.java:415) at org.apache.hadoop.security.UserGroupInformation.doAs(UserGroupInformation.java:1548) at org.apache.hive.service.cli.operation.SQLOperation$1.run(SQLOperation.java:218) at java.util.concurrent.Executors$RunnableAdapter.call(Executors.java:471) at java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.run(FutureTask.java:262) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1145) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:615) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:745) From: San Luo [mailto:luo...@damai.cn] Sent: 30 November 2015 10:06 To: user@hive.apache.org<mailto:user@hive.apache.org> Subject: com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.MySQLSyntaxErrorException: Specified key was too long; max key length is 767 bytes hi guys, when I am trying to use mysql to manager hive metastore,I got a problem like below: [root@master hive]# hive Logging initialized using configuration in jar:file:/usr/lib/hive/lib/hive-common-1.1.1.jar!/hive-log4j.properties SLF4J: Class path contains multiple SLF4J bindings.
