I have a 3 node test cluster, where I have deployed Cloudera 5.11.1.

Other details: Java Version: 1.8.0_112, CentOS Linux release 7.3.1611

 

Now, all the services are up and running except for Hive- Hive Metastore, and which in turn results for Impala's bad health. The major issue is that the Hive metastore is not coming up and throws the below error:

java.lang.NullPointerException

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException

 

On further investigating the logs, I found the message as below:

Can't open /run/cloudera-scm-agent/process/218-hive-HIVEMETASTORE/config.zip: Permission denied.
Can't open /run/cloudera-scm-agent/process/218-hive-HIVEMETASTORE/proc.json: Permission denied.

 

I had the same issue with Impala and I was able to resolve this, but for Hive it doesn't work.

Anyone faced the same issue and got this fixed or has any idea about the issue..
