Cannot connect to hive

I'm running HDP 2.5 Sandbox on Docker on a Mac. I do get the following error when trying to use the Hive View in Ambari. I tried rebooting but it did not help. Any ideas?

        Service 'hiveserver' check failed:
java.lang.Exception: Cannot connect to hive

@Joav Bally the Hive server stops because of high Hiveserver 2 Heap Size.

  1. Go to Hive Services
  2. Click Config and scroll to the bottom
  3. In Storage section. Change the HiveServer2 heap Size.(Click the refresh icon that displays on hovering to set the recommended)
  4. Save the Current HDP and restart the hive service

This will solve the issue.
