HDP Sandbox: New tables and databases not visible in DAS UI

[#1]

I'm running the latest version of HDP sandbox using Docker. I'm following the instructions here: Getting Started with HDP Sandbox

When I create a table using the DAS UI, the operation completes successfully, and I am able to use the query tool to query the database. However, if I go to the "database" tab, is says there are no tables in the database. If I try to create a new database, it also doesn't appear on the database dropdown.

Also, only the first query I execute is added to the query log, even though subsequent queries complete successfully.

How can I configure sandbox so that I can view tables and databases properly in DAS?

Thanks.

I have downloaded a HDP 3.0 sandbox to try get aroung your problem. After suceesful deployment on Virtual box When you access DAS the default user is hive see screenshot DAS default user and on the beeline too

Now to demonstrate I will create a new database  JHC using DAS as the default user hive [See Create DB with DAS],

 You will see warning waiting for the database to be created it should succeed and now it should be available in the drop-down list see   [JHC database]

 Now choose this database to populate it with tables sample table Cloudera [see create_table_cloudera]

The DAS view should update with the table  [cloudera ] in [ jhc] database

While the beeline also proves the successful creation of the database and table therein

DAS view now shows the new table Cloudera in JHC database. Now getting back to your question  "When you query the databases the table doesn't appear in the drop-down list " Are you sure you selected the same DB where you created the table?"
I realized I had to wait for the refresh maybe you should manually refresh 🙂

Hope that helps, please revert

@Shelton 

Thank you for your response.

As you suggest, I created a new database called JHC. The query succeeds, and appears in the query log:

However, when I click the database dropdown, the new database is not listed:

Note that I am using the Docker version of HDP 3.0 sandbox.

Please advise.

Thank you.

Logging in as hive user on the shell, the new database is listed, but not shown on DAS.

@jhc 

I noted the database refresh took very long , did you manually refresh please do that and update this thread

Happy hadooping

[#6 · Accepted solution]

After trying a fresh installation and uploading the tables as the maria_dev user, the tables appeared as expected.

I have downloaded the latest version just a few days ago, still facing the same issue.

@SHADA 

please take note this thread was closed can you open a new thread and attach the errors,logs or screenshot of the error you are encountering  and remember to be precise on the version of the sandbox whether it VMware,Docker or Virtualbox
