Unable to instantiate org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.metadata.SessionHiveMetaStoreClient (Ubuntu)

Question

I have successfully installed Java, Hadoop MySQL. I am getting this error while running hive. I was getting the file permission error before which got fixed by making the metastore_db folder under hive folder to 777 permission mode. How can i resolve this issue.

I tried even moving the db.lck and dbex.lck files It did not work. I restarted Hadoop and machine several times after the changes made nothing worked. Help ! Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

For me, I got this error when not start hive inside $HIVE_HOME.

Answer 2

From the property, it will create only the database but not the schema. Try creating the schema required for Hive metastore in MySQL

 cd $HIVE_HOME/scripts/metastore/upgrade/mysql/
 < login to mysql >
 mysql> use metastore;
 mysql> source hive-schema-<your_version>.mysql.sql;

Then restart hive metastore process.
