Xuefu Zhang commented on HIVE-3819:
-----------------------------------
Yes. I had. I can understand the error message in case of metastore not running
or running normally, which is your case. However, but problem described above
is about when hadoop daemons are not running. In my case, metastore was running
normally, but hdfs/mr were all down. In such case, I didn't see the mentioned
error msg.
> Creating a table on Hive without Hadoop daemons running returns a misleading

> 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).
