Mark Grover created HIVE-3819: --------------------------------- Summary: Creating a table on Hive without Hadoop daemons running returns a misleading error Key: HIVE-3819 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-3819 Project: Hive Issue Type: Bug Components: CLI, Metastore Reporter: Mark Grover
I was running hive without running the underlying hadoop daemon's running. Hadoop was configured to run in pseudo-distributed mode. However, when I tried to create a hive table, I got this rather misleading error: {code} FAILED: Error in metadata: java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to instantiate org.apache.hadoop.hive.metastore.HiveMetaStoreClient FAILED: Execution Error, return code 1 from org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.DDLTask {code} We should look into making this error message less misleading (more about hadoop daemons not running instead of metastore client not being instantiable). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
