How to use SKIP_SCHEMA_INIT=TRUE from command line

[Sanjay Gupta]

Hi All,

If my metastore schema already exists with correct version so what I
need to do so it doesn't do init or upgrade when starting metastore
container

I have tried following command line


On MAC environment variables
export HIVE_VERSION=3.1.3
and even
SKIP_SCHEMA_INIT=TRUE

docker run -it -d -p 9083:9083 --env SERVICE_NAME=metastore
--add-host=host.docker.internal:host-gateway \
     --env SKIP_SCHEMA_INIT=TRUE \
     --env DB_DRIVER=mysql \
     --env 
SERVICE_OPTS="-Djavax.jdo.option.ConnectionDriverName=com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver
 
-Djavax.jdo.option.ConnectionURL=jdbc:mysql://host.docker.internal:3306/hive?createDatabaseIfNotExist=true
-Djavax.jdo.option.ConnectionUserName=hive
-Djavax.jdo.option.ConnectionPassword=****" \
     --mount source=warehouse,target=/opt/hive/data/warehouse \
     --name metastore-standalone apache/hive:${HIVE_VERSION} /bin/bash

Docker entrypoint.sh have following code

SKIP_SCHEMA_INIT="${IS_RESUME:-false}"

function initialize_hive {
  COMMAND="-initOrUpgradeSchema"
  if [ "$(echo "$HIVE_VER" | cut -d '.' -f1)" -lt "4" ]; then
     COMMAND="-${SCHEMA_COMMAND:-initSchema}"
  fi
  $HIVE_HOME/bin/schematool -dbType $DB_DRIVER $COMMAND
  if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
    echo "Initialized schema successfully.."
  else
    echo "Schema initialization failed!"
    exit 1
  fi
}

export HIVE_CONF_DIR=$HIVE_HOME/conf
if [ -d "${HIVE_CUSTOM_CONF_DIR:-}" ]; then
  find "${HIVE_CUSTOM_CONF_DIR}" -type f -exec \
    ln -sfn {} "${HIVE_CONF_DIR}"/ \;
  export HADOOP_CONF_DIR=$HIVE_CONF_DIR
  export TEZ_CONF_DIR=$HIVE_CONF_DIR

export HADOOP_CLIENT_OPTS="$HADOOP_CLIENT_OPTS -Xmx1G $SERVICE_OPTS"
if [[ "${SKIP_SCHEMA_INIT}" == "false" ]]; then
  # handles schema initialization
