Project: Hive
Issue Type: Bug

[The official setup
documentation|https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/GettingStarted#GettingStarted-RunningHiveCLI]
does not mention that running Hive CLI (even on failure) leads to the creation
of a metastore.
Any attempts to initialize the db schema will hence fail due to inconsistent
metastore state.
This is mainly due to the fact that the hive CLI command has been given before
the init dbschema command and is not preceded with any information regarding
metastore creation.

*Possible Solution*
Keep the schema initialization command before the Hive CLI command, which
should resolve any issues faced.
