How to fix ambari Hive View 1.5 /2.0 'Result fetch timed out' issue ?
While accessing Ambari 2.5 or 2.4 Hive Views (1.5.0/2.0) we see the following error in the log:
ERROR [ambari-client-thread-62] ContainerResponse:537 - Mapped exception to response: 500 (Internal Server Error) org.apache.ambari.view.hive2.utils.ServiceFormattedException

Also we notice the following kind of error "Result fetch timed out" in the Ambari UI Hive 1.5 view while running some hive queries that are fetching results from a large table.

This is basically a timeout error "Result fetch timed out" which indicates that HiveView is having default timeout value set in the ambari.properties that is not suitable for the kind of query we are running. As it is not able to fetch the result from hive within that mentioned time period.
Set the following properties in "/etc/ambari-server/conf/ambari.properties"
views.ambari.request.read.timeout.millis=300000
views.request.read.timeout.millis=300000
Here we are setting the value to 5 minutes. It can be increased / decreased further based on the observations and the time taken to process the long running queries.
.
From Ambari 2.4 this new parameter is added that can be used to define the Hive Instance specific settings.
views.ambari.hive.<HIVE_VIEW_INSTANCE_NAME>.result.fetch.timeout=300000
Example:
views.ambari.hive.AUTO_HIVE_INSTANCE.result.fetch.timeout=300000
Here above is the most important ambari.properties for the Hive View 1.5/2.0.
**NOTE:** After making the changes inside the "ambari.properties" ambari-server needs to be restarted.
