Hi, I am trying to create Hive tables on an EC2 instance. I get this strange error about URI schema and log4j properties not found. I do not know how to fix this.
On EC2 instance : Ubuntu 10.04, Hive-0.7.1-cdh3u2. Initially I did not have an entry for hive.metastore.uris property in my hive-default.xml file. So, I created one. Still, I get the errors as pasted below. I was under the assumption that if we leave the uris value blank, it is will assume the local metastore. <property> <name>hive.metastore.local</ name> <value>true</value> <description>controls whether to connect to remove metastore server or open a new metastore server in Hive Client JVM</description> </property> <property> <name>hive.metastore.uris</name> <value>/home/users/jtv/CDH3/hive/conf/metastore_db</value> </property> root@ip-10-114-18-63:/home/users/jtv# hive -f ./scripts/log25.q hive-log4j.properties not found Hive history file=/tmp/root/hive_job_log_root_201112120332_1795396613.txt 11/12/12 03:32:03 INFO exec.HiveHistory: Hive history file=/tmp/root/hive_job_log_root_201112120332_1795396613.txt 11/12/12 03:32:03 INFO parse.ParseDriver: Parsing command: CREATE TABLE log25_tbl (OperationEvent STRING, HostIP STRING, StartTime STRING, SourceRepo STRING, SourceFolder STRING, DestRepo STRING, DestFolder STRING, EntityOrObject STRING, BytesSent STRING, TotalTimeInSecs STRING) COMMENT 'This is the Log_25 Table' 11/12/12 03:32:04 INFO parse.ParseDriver: Parse Completed 11/12/12 03:32:04 INFO parse.SemanticAnalyzer: Starting Semantic Analysis 11/12/12 03:32:04 INFO parse.SemanticAnalyzer: Creating table log25_tbl position=13 11/12/12 03:32:04 INFO ql.Driver: Semantic Analysis Completed 11/12/12 03:32:04 INFO ql.Driver: Returning Hive schema: Schema(fieldSchemas:null, properties:null) 11/12/12 03:32:04 INFO ql.Driver: Starting command: CREATE TABLE log25_tbl (OperationEvent STRING, HostIP STRING, StartTime STRING, SourceRepo STRING, SourceFolder STRING, DestRepo STRING, DestFolder STRING, EntityOrObject STRING, BytesSent STRING, TotalTimeInSecs STRING) COMMENT 'This is the Log_25 Table' 11/12/12 03:32:04 INFO exec.DDLTask: Default to LazySimpleSerDe for table log25_tbl 11/12/12 03:32:04 INFO hive.log: DDL: struct log25_tbl { string operationevent, string hostip, string starttime, string sourcerepo, string sourcefolder, string destrepo, string destfolder, string entityorobject, string bytessent, string totaltimeinsecs} FAILED: Error in metadata: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: URI: does not have a scheme 11/12/12 03:32:04 ERROR exec.DDLTask: FAILED: Error in metadata: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: URI: does not have a scheme org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.metadata.HiveException: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: URI: does not have a scheme at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.metadata.Hive.createTable(Hive.java:476) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.DDLTask.createTable(DDLTask.java:3176) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.DDLTask.execute(DDLTask.java:213) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.Task.executeTask(Task.java:130) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.TaskRunner.runSequential(TaskRunner.java:57) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.Driver.launchTask(Driver.java:1063) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.Driver.execute(Driver.java:900) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.Driver.run(Driver.java:748) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.cli.CliDriver.processCmd(CliDriver.java:209) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.cli.CliDriver.processLine(CliDriver.java:286) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.cli.CliDriver.processReader(CliDriver.java:310) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.cli.CliDriver.processFile(CliDriver.java:317) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.cli.CliDriver.main(CliDriver.java:490) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:597) at org.apache.hadoop.util.RunJar.main(RunJar.java:156) Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: URI: does not have a scheme at org.apache.hadoop.hive.metastore.HiveMetaStoreClient.<init>(HiveMetaStoreClient.java:127) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.metadata.Hive.createMetaStoreClient(Hive.java:1868) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.metadata.Hive.getMSC(Hive.java:1878) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.metadata.Hive.createTable(Hive.java:470) ... 17 more FAILED: Execution Error, return code 1 from org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.DDLTask 11/12/12 03:32:04 ERROR ql.Driver: FAILED: Execution Error, return code 1 from org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.DDLTask root@ip-10-114-18-63:/home/users/jtv# =================================== Suggestions are appreciated.
