Beeline does not give any response

avatar

When try to open hive through beeline it connects properly to beeline-hiveserver2, but if I use any query on that then it does not give response. for ex. if I hit query show databases then give just empty list (no database is shown). Ideally it should show the list of databases present on that cluster.

Do you have Ranger policies defined for Hive? If yes, check if the login user has use/select on the databases.

Also, you could check the 'show databases' from Hive Cli as it by-passes the Ranger.

@Sindhu Yes I have a ranger policy for hive and login user has all permissions on all databases. And I have also checked on hive cli show databases its working it gives us all databases.

@Anjali Shevadkar,

This might be a lame question. Are you sure that you are connecting to the right HiveServer ?

Can you please copy the url from hive configs and try connecting to it

Go to Ambari -> Hive -> Summary -> HiveServer2 JDBC URL (Copy this url) and try to connect to it and see if this works.

Yes I am sure that I am connecting to the right hiveserver. Still there is same issue.

I checked internally and below policy works:

beeline> !connect jdbc:hive2://:2181,:2181,:2181/;serviceDiscoveryMode=zooKeeper;zooKeeperNamespace=hiveserver2
Connecting to jdbc:hive2://:2181,:2181,:2181/;serviceDiscoveryMode=zooKeeper;zooKeeperNamespace=hiveserver2

Were you able to verify with the permissions?

@Anjali Shevadkar

Is your cluster kerberized. If so, are you using the relevant kerberos ticket for the user, please confirm
