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).
