Istvan Szegedi commented on HIVE-3819: -------------------------------------- I am running hive 0.9.0 and when Hadoop is stopped, I get the following error message indicating the hive cannot connect to hdfs://localhost:9000 (hadoop fs.default.name): hive> create table test ( i int ); create table test ( i int ) FAILED: Error in metadata: MetaException(message:Got exception: java.net.ConnectException Call to localhost/127.0.0.1:9000 failed on connection exception: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused) FAILED: Execution Error, return code 1 from org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.DDLTask > 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.
