Hi George,

Are you embedding the metastore in drillbit (hive.metastore.uris="") or
drillbit is connecting to remote metastore (hive.metastore.uris=valid
address)?

If you are embedding the metastore, make sure you have the appropriate
driver (if MySql backend then mysql jdbc driver) in classpath or drill/lib
folder.

Thanks
Venki
