@Gerhard Neuhofer

can you share the command used to import the data to Hive.

Also, I do not understand "the log directo empty", does this mean no logs in Hive Metastore? Id yes, it seems like a process crash.

Check your /var/log/messages for any errors at the time.

Do confirm if core limit is set to unlimited in "ulimit -a" output, this shall generate a core file for analysis of the crash.
