Exercise 3 : no response from intermediate_access_logs table creation query

[#1]

Hi, 

Not getting any response When I execute below query. Its more than 3 hrs now and no response yet. I am running this query on Quick Start VM.

Could you please help me with this issue.

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.RegexSerDe'
 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';

This is what i get when executing the query:

Error: Error while processing statement: FAILED: Execution Error, return code 1 from org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.DDLTask. MetaException(message:hdfs://quickstart.cloudera:8020/user/hive/warehouse/original_access_logs is not a directory or unable to create one) (state=08S01,code=1)
0: jdbc:hive2://quickstart:10000/default>

This worked for me:

--remove existing directory

sudo -u hdfs hadoop fs rm /user/hive/warehouse/original_access_logs

--create the directory again

--see the results. must be drwxr ...

hadoop fs -ls /user/hive/warehouse

No luck with the solution. Verified the permissions 9drwxr )

Any help?

It took around 4 Hrs to finish the query with errors.

I got an error saying that Failed to acquire locks

Resolved the issue. Issue is because Zookeeper service is not running.

Sorry for the delay. Glad you find the solution.
