Sorry for the (as per subject) basic, dumb getting started question but: I'm trying to just set up Hive on a single node. Hadoop is set up and running happily, but following the directions on the Getting Started guide don't actually work (following the directions literally results in it complaining about a lack of a hive-site.conf file; putting a dummy one in results in, among other things, the HCatalog server not starting...looking at logs, it looks like it's encountering configuration parsing problems, which suggests I just don't have the configuration files set up correctly). HADOOP_HOME is set, the correct directories are set up in HDFS, etc.
Hadoop version 2.5.1, Hive version 0.13.1, Oracle JDK (1.6, I believe), Debian 7.7. I notice the default conf/ directory has a bunch of template files, but only that. Can someone point me to a resource, or to an example of what configuration I need, to actually run Hive correctly out of the box on a single machine? Thanks, Nick
