ERROR: Unable to connect to the DB. Please check DB connection properties.
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver

i inherited this cluster so i have no idea what DB it was connecting and i cant for the life of me find anything about it in the documentation i was left.

knox and ranger are not enabled but it seems kerberos is but nothing has changed with that.

As the error seems to be related to missing mysql driver class:

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver

- Can you please check if you have copied the "mysql-connector.jar" inside the following location?

# cp  -r  /usr/lib/hive/lib/mysql-connector-java.jar   /usr/share/java/

.

Additionally please refer to: https://docs.hortonworks.com/HDPDocuments/Ambari-2.4.0.1/bk_ambari-reference/content/using_hive_with...

# yum install mysql-connector-java*
# ls -l /usr/share/java/mysql-connector-java.jar
# ambari-server setup --jdbc-db=mysql --jdbc-driver=/usr/share/java/mysql-connector-java.jar

.

ahhhhh yes!

ambari-server setup --jdbc-db=mysql --jdbc-driver=/usr/share/java/mysql-connector-java.jar

ran that command and it worked. guess when it was updated it broke that connection? either way its working now! thanks so much!
