Hi,
I am trying to learn Hive, but am having problems as I am getting a
lot of error messages that do not hint at how to resolve whatever
problem is occurring in my setup.
I can successfully create a table, but then I cannot load any data
into it, or even use the command "show tables." I get:
FAILED: Unknown exception: null
What is the likely problem?
These are my configurations:
hive-site.xml
<configuration>
<property>
<name>hive.metastore.local</name>
<value>true</value>
<description>this is local store</description>
</property>
<property>
<name>hive.metastore.warehouse.dir</name>
<value>/user/hive/warehouse</value>
<description>default location for Hive tables</description>
</property>
</configuration>
hadoop-site.xml
<configuration>
<property>
<name>hadoop.tmp.dir</name>
<value>/tmp/hadoop-${user.name}</value>
</property>
<property>
<name>fs.default.name</name>
<value>hdfs://localhost:54310</value>
</property>
<property>
<name>mapred.job.tracker</name>
<value>hdfs://localhost:54311</value>
</property>
<property>
<name>dfs.replication</name>
<value>8</value>
</property>
<property>
<name>mapred.child.java.opts</name>
<value>-Xmx512m</value>
</property>
</configuration>
