运行HIVE命令引发错误：线程“ main”中的异常java.lang.RuntimeException：org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.metadata.HiveException

Question

I have done the HIVE setup on my Ubuntu machine as per this link . When I run HIVE command (the last step), I get this exception:

SLF4J: Class path contains multiple SLF4J bindings.
SLF4J: Found binding in [jar:file:/home/administrator/apache-hive-2.1.1-bin/lib/log4j-slf4j-impl-2.4.1.jar!/org/slf4j/impl/StaticLoggerBinder.class]

Can anyone help?

Possible duplicate of :- java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to instantiate org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.metadata.SessionHiveMetaStoreClient

It seems that you are using derby database for the metastore. I had also faced similar problems on vm.

If you can, please install mysql and use that for metastore.

Answer 2

From the property, it will create only the database but not the schema. Try creating the schema required for Hive metastore in MySQL

cd $HIVE_HOME/scripts/metastore/upgrade/mysql/ < login to mysql using command (mysql -u root -p) where root is the username and password will be asked>

 mysql> use metastore;
 mysql> source hive-schema-<your_version>.mysql.sql;

eg source hive-schema-2.1.0.mysql.sql; Then restart hive metastore process using. hive --service metastore. Hopefully, this will solve the problem!
