Hello, every one: I am a newbie to hive. And I have a bash shell script which will run multi hive scripts(more than 16*31) simultaneously to export data to text files. When I run this shell, the following exception occurred, and if I run the hive scripts one by one, all are OK. In the hive scripts, I must create a temp table for some reason. FAILED: Error in metadata: javax.jdo.JDODataStoreException: Exception thrown obtaining schema column information from data store NestedThrowables: com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.MySQLSyntaxErrorException: Table 'hivedb1.DELETEME1356611646373' doesn't exist FAILED: Execution Error, return code 1 from org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.DDLTask ENV: HIVE:0.90 MetaDataStore: Mysql5.5.30 I have googled the internet and found the following setting may fix the exception, but I don’t know whether I can create and drop tables in hive scripts. <property> <name>datanucleus.autoCreateSchema</name> <value>false</value> </property> <property> <name>datanucleus.fixedDatastore</name> <value>true</value> </property> The attachments are hive configuration and the shell script. Thanks a lot.
