Hi All
Installed HCATALOG using RPM file but failed to start the HCATALOG service…. Started metastore server init, testing if initialized correctly... Metastore startup failed, see /var/log/hcatalog/hcat.err [FAILED] I am receiving the above message when I try to start hcatalog using the below command #sudo service hcatalog-server start The file hcat.err doesn’t have anything written to it and there is another file named hcat.out. The full content of the file is hive command involved from /usr/bin directory Hive requires Hadoop 0.20.x (x >= 1). 'hadoop version' returned: Hadoop 0.21.0 Subversion https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/hadoop/common/branches/branch-0.21 -r 985326 Compiled by tomwhite on Tue Aug 17 01:02:28 EDT 2010 From source with checksum a1aeb15b4854808d152989ba76f90fac I am using RedHat Linux [root@Blade-5 hcatalog]# cat /etc/*release Enterprise Linux Enterprise Linux Server release 5.4 (Carthage) Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.4 (Tikanga) JDK version used is java version "1.6.0_20" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_20-b02) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 16.3-b01, mixed mode) Can somebody explain where am i getting wrong.....
