Hive Metastore initialization fail

ranger — Tue, 10 Sep 2019 12:46:32 GMT

I have the following configuration in hive-site.xml

<configuration>
<property>

</property>
<property>
<name>hive.metastore.schema.verification</name>
<value>false</value>
</property>
</configuration>

Also have jdbc-sql drivers installed and schematool as follows is sucessful.

schematool -dbType mysql -initSchema

But when I go to start hive metastore as, I get error both in hive-3.2.1 and hive-1.2.2 version.

hive --service metastore

Error says:

Re: Hive Metastore initialization fail

@ranger

There are three modes for Hive Metastore deployment:

Embedded Metastore

Not recommended for production.

Local Metastore
This mode allows us to have many Hive sessions i.e. many users can use the metastore at the same time. It's achieved by using any JDBC compliant like MySQL.

In this case, the javax.jdo.option.ConnectionURL property is set to jdbc:mysql://host/dbname? createDatabaseIfNotExist=true, and javax.jdo.option.ConnectionDriverName is set to com.mysql.jdbc.Driver. The JDBC driver JAR file for MySQL must be on Hive’s classpath,

Remote Metastore

In this mode, metastore runs on its own separate JVM, not in the Hive service JVM. If other processes want to communicate with the metastore server they can communicate using Thrift Network APIs here you have the ability to have one more metastore servers in this case to provide High availability.

having said that it seems you are trying to use embedded Metastore. What I advice you to do is create one as the root through the Ambari ui, it will ask you for the DBName and Host which would be where you installed the MySQL database else pre-create the metastore.

The Hive database must be created before loading the Hive database schema that explains why you are getting the startup error.

Using Hive with MySQL

On the Ambari Server host, stage the appropriate MySQL connector for later deployment.
1. On the Ambari Server host, Download the MySQL Connector/JDBC driver from MySQL.
2. Runambari-server setup --jdbc-db=mysql --jdbc-driver=/path/to/mysql/mysql-connector-java.jar
3. Confirm that mysql-connector-java.jar is in the Java share directory.
  ls /usr/share/java/mysql-connector-java.jar
4. Make sure the .jar file has the appropriate permissions - 644.
5. Execute the following command:
  ambari-server setup --jdbc-db=mysql --jdbc-driver=/usr/share/java/mysql-connector-java.jar

Create a user for Hive and grant it permissions.

using the MySQL database admin utility:

# mysql -u root -p
CREATE USER '[HIVE_USER]'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '[HIVE_PASSWORD]';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO '[HIVE_USER]'@'localhost';
CREATE USER '[HIVE_USER]'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY '[HIVE_PASSWORD]';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO '[HIVE_USER]'@'%';
CREATE USER '[HIVE_USER]'@'[HIVE_METASTORE_FQDN]' IDENTIFIED BY '[HIVE_PASSWORD]';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO '[HIVE_USER]'@'[HIVE_METASTORE_FQDN]';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Where

[HIVE_USER] is your desired Hive user name,
[HIVE_PASSWORD] is your desired Hive user password and
[HIVE_METASTORE_FQDN] is the Fully Qualified Domain Name of the Hive Metastore host.
Create the Hive database.
The Hive database must be created before loading the Hive database schema.
```
# mysql -u root -p
CREATE DATABASE [HIVE_DATABASE]
```
Where [HIVE_DATABASE] is your desired Hive database name.

After the above step then in the Ambari UI when you reach the Hive Metastpre configuring stage use the same credentials and the "test" should succeed and that should fire up when you start all the HDP components

HOpe that helps
