HUE/Oozie hive action errors when running workflow

tridinger — Fri, 16 Sep 2022 10:08:15 GMT

Running CDH 5.5.1, Kerberos enabled cluster.

I have a hive .sql script that runs fine interactively. When I try to launch via Oozie using Hive action it errors out. Log file below. There isn't much info in the logs. Any ideas on how to troubleshoot?

Error message:

 Launcher ERROR, reason: Main class [org.apache.oozie.action.hadoop.Hive2Main], exit code [2]

Full log below:

I was able to solve this by finding the URL to the Job History Server UI. Stdout and Stderr can be sen here.

How did you use the url to resolve the issue? Did you identify a root cause and resolution action? I'm experiencing similar error

I think there was a bug in 5.5.1 where you could not review standard out and standard err outputs of shell scripts and hive scripts called from an oozie workflow. That was fixed in later versions. The job history was used as a workaround to review the error messages and find root cause.

If you are calling the hive action/script from a shell script instead of a hive action you will also need to do the following.
1.Use kinit (if running a secure cluster) and kinit to an account that has access to the hive schema.
2.You must set the mapreduce.job.credentials.binary to $HADOOP_TOKEN_FILE_LOCATION in the hive script;

Sample code below:

HIVEQUERY='hive -S -e "SET mapreduce.job.credentials.binary=$HADOOP_TOKEN_FILE_LOCATION;set mapred.job.queue.name=myquename;SELECT count(*) FROM schema.table;"'

Thanks for your response. In my case I'm using a simple HIVE action with no shell script. I'll dig into this some more, hopefully I can find the root cause in my case. I'll report if I find anything that would be useful to a large audience

One last thing worth mentioning. If you are using a hive action, you will need to ensure that you have the HiveServer2 URL identified on the properties tab of Hue/oozie for the action.

E.g., jdbc:hive2://<HIVE_SERVER_HOSTNAME>:10000/default

You were right on point. I didn't have this property specified and when I initially added it I forgot to save it. Got it working. Gracias!!!
