Hiveserver2 is not starting but metastore is running.

HDP cluster has 3 nodes. One has metastore instance and other two have hiveserver2 instances. The cluster was working fine earlier. The metastore is running but It is giving error while starting hiveserver2

caught exception: ZooKeeper node /hiveserver2 is not ready yet. Sleeping for 10 sec(s) hiveserver2-stderr.txt

when I access hive from terminal it starts beeline with an error for hiveserver2

[root@hmaster ~]# hive

The zookeeper node /hiveserver2 is empty I have also tried removing the zookeeper node /hiveserver2 as suggested in other threads but it does not help.

@Josh Elser please help on this

Anyone's help will be appreciated...

@Mohit Kaushik is there sufficient RAM and storage space?

In the hiveserver2.log it gives the following error repeatedly.

2018-11-26T11:13:30,160 ERROR [json-metric-reporter]: metrics2.JsonFileMetricsReporter (:()) - Unable to rename temp file /tmp/hmetrics6708564061371615677json to /tmp/report.json

@Richard Dobson Yes, It has enough free space, no jobs running. RAM is 16 GB on each server .Thanks for the reply...
