Running into errors accessing hive

Contributor

Hi,

I just tried to install hive on a server.

This server already has an existing hive service on it. My goal is to upgrade the version for our existing hive in our hadoop cluster.

 

When I ran hive after installing it manually by following the instructions:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/AdminManual+Installation#AdminManualInstallation-In...

 

I ran into the below error:

 

[root@sunnymaster02 apache-hive-2.3.8-bin]# pwd
/root/apache-hive-2.3.8-bin
[root@sunnymaster02 apache-hive-2.3.8-bin]# bin/hive

hive> show databases;

Can someone please tell me what the error message means or what am I doing wrong?

 

Thanks,

Hi,

 

As you previously had a version of hive in same machine and the error here is referring to hive metastore then its probably due to old config from the old hive installation "/etc/hive/conf"
