Here is an update. So I finally was able to use ambari to get Hive installed and services started using the apache bigtop repo. Also was able to connect via hiveCLI as well as beeline(hiveserver2) and ran a simple "show databases;" which ran successfully. So after symlinking the following directories, hiveserver2 finally was able to start successfully. [root@test ~]# ll /usr/bgtp/current/ total 32 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Apr 23 19:38 hive-client -> /usr/lib/hive lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Apr 23 19:37 hive-metastore -> /usr/lib/hive lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Apr 27 16:28 hive-server2 -> /usr/lib/hive lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Apr 27 16:29 hive-webhcat -> /usr/lib/hive-hcatalog I did not find any documentation on how to install hive with the apache bigtop packages using ambari. There was some documentation on how to install hive with the apache bigtop package using the command line. If anyone finds any documentation on how to install the different components in the apache bigtop package, please let me know. Thanks,
