Quick Start VM : Hive Editor Parsing Error : Exercise 3

makenosuddenmovements — Tue, 21 Apr 2026 13:58:39 GMT

I am working through the quickstart tutorial and am experiencing errors with the HUE Hive Editor using the below SQL; upon execution the editor parses the output.format.string property and throws up a dialog requesting parameter "s"...

Sorry if this is a FAQ, but couldn't find any reference to it in the community forums

mnsm

CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE intermediate_access_logs (
ip STRING,
date STRING,
method STRING,
url STRING,
http_version STRING,
code1 STRING,
code2 STRING,
dash STRING,
user_agent STRING)
ROW FORMAT SERDE 'org.apache.hadoop.hive.contrib.serde2.ou'
WITH SERDEPROPERTIES (
'input.regex' = '([^ ]*) - - \\[([^\\]]*)\\] "([^\ ]*) ([^\ ]*) ([^\ ]*)" (\\d*) (\\d*) "([^"]*)" "([^"]*)"',
'output.format.string' = '%1$s %2$s %3$s %4$s %5$s %6$s %7$s %8$s %9$s'
)
LOCATION '/user/hive/warehouse/original_access_logs';

DROP TABLE intermediate_access_logs;

I see there's an error in the tutorial. These queries are intended to be in the Beeline shell that is described above this step. The statements should be pasted into that shell, not into the Hive Query Editor app. I'll get that corrected...

The "$s" in the format string is a special syntax interpreted by Hue as a parameter for the user to provide. To make it send the query to Hive as intended, you would need to escape the $ signs (e.g. %1$$s, etc.) However you may also run into some permissions issues querying the dataset via Hue that were beyond the scope of the tutorial - hence using Beeline.

Thanks for reporting this!

I ran into a similar issue, however when I used the copy text button and pasted into Putty I received the permission denied error. Do you know how to fix the permissions?

Thanks

I think the point of Sean's post is that you shouldn't use the standard shell -- Try using the Beeline shell instead -- if that doesn't help maybe the community will weigh in. Good luck.

you probably figured this out, but your step to start beeline should use cloudera as the username. The tutorial has a typographic error:

this [cloudera@quickstart ~]$ beeline -u jdbc:hive2://quickstart:10000/default -n admin -d org.apache.hive.jdbc.HiveDriver should be

[cloudera@quickstart ~]$ beeline -u jdbc:hive2://quickstart:10000/default -n cloudera -d org.apache.hive.jdbc.HiveDriver

Delete the two log tables you created and then start this section again using the -n cloudera.
