This worked at one time, but I now I'm having an issue: I have a basic python script for testing python/hive. The script just does a few simple things:
-show tables -describe [a table] -select * from [a table] limit 15 The show tables and describe sections are functioning. However, when it gets to the select command, then the hive server begins to issue: 10/09/28 13:38:24 INFO ipc.Client: Retrying connect to server: mysvr/15.6.84.51:8020. Already tried 0 time(s). 10/09/28 13:38:25 INFO ipc.Client: Retrying connect to server: mysvr/15.6.84.51:8020.

The problem I believe is the port that it's trying to connect to. My hdfs namenode is serviced on port 54310. I tried adding the following setting to hive-site.xml: <name>fs.default.name</name> <value>hdfs://mysvr:54310</value> Any other suggestions? Thanks! -M@
