I originally installed an ambari-provisioned cluster with version 1.2.2.5. Hive/HCat service was never working from the beginning. I upgraded the server to 1.2.3.7 with hopes it had a fix for the issues I'm having but to no avail. I tried to figure it out on my own as well and I wasn't successful. If anyone know what's happening during service start, the message is:
su - hive -c 'env HADOOP_HOME=/usr JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0-sun.x86_64 /tmp/startMetastore.sh /var/log/hive/hive.out /var/log/hive/hive.log /application/run/hive/hive.pid /etc/hive/conf.server ']/Exec[su - hive -c 'env HADOOP_HOME=/usr JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0-sun.x86_64 /tmp/startMetastore.sh /var/log/hive/hive.out /var/log/hive/hive.log /application/run/hive/hive.pid /etc/hive/conf.server ']/returns: env: /tmp/startMetastore.sh: Permission denied where is this permission issue coming from? I chose to use a password for metastore with all kinds of characters.
