Hi,Mithun. Thx for your advice! I have installed hive-0.9.0 replacing hive-0.8.1 for trying. And create table,load data,select,etc operations are all normal. But when use hcat to create table,NPEs are the same.
I didn't change the hive-site.xml conf file in $HIVE_HOME/conf and $HCAT_HOME/etc/hcatalog, and just stay it as previous. Do you have the compiled hcatalog installation file : hcatalog-0.4.0.tar.gz?If yes,can you mail it to me? Thx~ Or do you have other advice?

It looks like you're trying to get this going with Hive 0.8.1. Would you please run against Hive-9 and check if you're still hitting NPEs? This shouldn't be failing at all.

Hi~ These days,I have tried to install hcatalog on a hadoop cluster composed of three nodes. The related environment detailed info is shown as following: Hadoop version: hadoop-0.20.2 Hive version: hive-0.8.1 HCatalog version: hcatalog-0.4.0 Ant version: Apache-ant-1.8.4 Forrest:Apache-forrest-0.9.0 Thrift version:thrift-0.9.0 Mysql version:Mysql-5.1.47 The installation steps I followed is like this(MapReduce job can run on hadoop cluster correctly): Step 1:Compile the hcatalog-src-0.4.0-incubating to the install file hcatalog-0.4.0.tar.gz Step 2:install thrift and test installation. Step 3:install hive and config the metastore to mysql as the local metastore rather than remote metastore.Then test by loading data into hive from local and select.All the operations can be done rightly.And the data on HDFS and mysql are all correct. Step 4:Untar the hcatalog-0.4.0.tar.gz and install hcatalog-0.4.0 server follow the steps given by apache website.And then I started the hive server service. Step 5:Start the hcat server,also can work normally.Then I tried to create a table,but it failed.Then I enter the $HIVE_LOG_DIR/hive.log to see the error info: 2013-01-09 16:51:01,158 ERROR DataNucleus.Plugin (Log4JLogger.java:error(115)) - Bundle "org.eclipse.jdt.core" requires "org.eclipse.core.resources" but it cannot be resolved. 2013-01-09 16:51:01,158 ERROR DataNucleus.Plugin (Log4JLogger.java:error(115)) - Bundle "org.eclipse.jdt.core" requires "org.eclipse.core.resources" but it cannot be resolved. 2013-01-09 16:51:01,173 ERROR DataNucleus.Plugin (Log4JLogger.java:error(115)) - Bundle "org.eclipse.jdt.core" requires "org.eclipse.core.runtime" but it cannot be resolved. 2013-01-09 16:51:01,173 ERROR DataNucleus.Plugin (Log4JLogger.java:error(115)) - Bundle "org.eclipse.jdt.core" requires "org.eclipse.core.runtime" but it cannot be resolved. 2013-01-09 16:51:01,178 ERROR DataNucleus.Plugin (Log4JLogger.java:error(115)) - Bundle "org.eclipse.jdt.core" requires "org.eclipse.text" but it cannot be resolved. 2013-01-09 16:51:01,178 ERROR DataNucleus.Plugin (Log4JLogger.java:error(115)) - Bundle "org.eclipse.jdt.core" requires "org.eclipse.text" but it cannot be resolved. 2013-01-09 16:51:24,243 ERROR ql.Driver (SessionState.java:printError(374)) - FAILED: Error in semantic analysis: org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.metadata.HiveException: java.lang.NullPointerException org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.parse.SemanticException: org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.metadata.HiveException: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.hcatalog.cli.SemanticAnalysis.CreateTableHook.authorize(CreateTableHook.java:210) at org.apache.hcatalog.cli.SemanticAnalysis.CreateTableHook.postAnalyze(CreateTableHook.java:168) at org.apache.hcatalog.cli.SemanticAnalysis.HCatSemanticAnalyzer.postAnalyze(HCatSemanticAnalyzer.java:185) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.Driver.compile(Driver.java:379) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.Driver.compile(Driver.java:335) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.Driver.run(Driver.java:844) at org.apache.hcatalog.cli.HCatDriver.run(HCatDriver.java:42) at org.apache.hcatalog.cli.HCatCli.processCmd(HCatCli.java:225) at org.apache.hcatalog.cli.HCatCli.processLine(HCatCli.java:181) at org.apache.hcatalog.cli.HCatCli.main(HCatCli.java:145) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:60) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:37) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:611) at org.apache.hadoop.util.RunJar.main(RunJar.java:156) Caused by: org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.metadata.HiveException: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.metadata.Hive.getDatabase(Hive.java:1043) at org.apache.hcatalog.cli.SemanticAnalysis.CreateTableHook.authorize(CreateTableHook.java:195) ... 14 more Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException at java.lang.Class.forName(Class.java:172) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.metastore.HiveMetaStore$HMSHandler.getClass(HiveMetaStore.java:503) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.metastore.HiveMetaStore$HMSHandler.getMS(HiveMetaStore.java:385) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.metastore.HiveMetaStore$HMSHandler.executeWithRetry(HiveMetaStore.java:337) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.metastore.HiveMetaStore$HMSHandler.createDefaultDB(HiveMetaStore.java:482) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.metastore.HiveMetaStore$HMSHandler.init(HiveMetaStore.java:250) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.metastore.HiveMetaStore$HMSHandler.<init>(HiveMetaStore.java:213) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.metastore.HiveMetaStoreClient.<init>(HiveMetaStoreClient.java:110) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.metadata.Hive.createMetaStoreClient(Hive.java:2010) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.metadata.Hive.getMSC(Hive.java:2020) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.metadata.Hive.getDatabase(Hive.java:1039) ... 15 more Then I can show the hive-stie.xml in $HCAT_CONF_DIR/etc/hcatalog/conf info: <?xml version="1.0"?> <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="configuration.xsl"?> <!-- Licensed to the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) under one or more contributor license agreements.
