ValueError: time data '2017-05-10 19:08:30' does not match format '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%f'

Root cause

During the upgrade, the data will be read from a file, such as *_tmp.txt,

under the /var/lib/ambari-agent/tmp/kinit_executor_cache directory.

This issue occurs if this file is not updated and points to an older date.

Solution

1. Login to Hive Metastore host

2. Move *_tmp.txt files

mv /var/lib/ambari-agent/tmp/kinit_executor_cache/*_tmp.txt /tmp


3. Retry Restart Hive Metastore step from Ambari Upgrade screen
