Hi,

I am facing the below error when running the import-hive.sh to import hive metadata to Apache Atlas.

This is solved now, guess something to do with memory. We increased the memory from 16GB to 32 GB on the EC2 instance, we were able to run all the services smoothly and were able to successfully run the import-hive.sh command without any error.
