You can find documentation for installation and configuration here: - Old versions of HCatalog: http://hive.apache.org/docs/hcat_r0.5.0/install.html - Current HCatalog: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/HCatalog+InstallHCat - Hive metastore: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/AdminManual+MetastoreAdmin
The Hive metastore doc says you need javax.jdo.option.ConnectionUserName & javax.jdo.option.ConnectionPassword (#3 & #4) for local and remote modes, but not for embedded mode. Only remote mode needs hive.metastore.uris (#5). I'm standing by to improve the documentation if you find any errors, omissions, or confusions. -- Lefty On Wed, Dec 4, 2013 at 6:38 AM, Biswajit Nayak <biswajit.na...@inmobi.com>wrote: > thanks a lot again for the quick response.. > > > On Wed, Dec 4, 2013 at 8:02 PM, Nitin Pawar <nitinpawar...@gmail.com>wrote: > >> From hive-0.11, hcatalog is part of hive ( before following steps below >> wait for others to reply as well if I made any mistake) >> >> So you need not do anything specific to setup hcatalog. >> >> If you downloaded previous hcatalog code and building it, then you need >> to follow that document. >> >> if you have latest hive binaries then, in hive-site.xml edit following >> 1) set javax.jdo.option.ConnectionURL -> point it to your DB >> 2) set javax.jdo.option.ConnectionDriverName to the driver needed to >> connect to your db >> 3) javax.jdo.option.ConnectionUserName -> username to connect to db >> 4) javax.jdo.option.ConnectionPassword -> password for the username >> 5) hive.metastore.uris -> metastore uri on which it will be reached >> >> assuming that you have all directory permissions in place you can start >> hive metastore service by running >> >> nohup hive --service metastore > somefile & >> >> that should do it. >> >> *Note* this is hive metastore service and not WebHcatalog Service. >> >> >> >> >> On Wed, Dec 4, 2013 at 7:53 PM, Biswajit Nayak <biswajit.na...@inmobi.com >> > wrote: >> >>> Thanks a lot Nitin.
