@BRinxen First, I feel your pain, as this sandbox was always an issue. Some advice below. Second, i would highly recommend you find a way to do something with hive,spark in another more modern form factor (not old hortonworks sandbox). That said, you are going to need like 32 gb of ram on a very beefy machine to role the whole sandbox even then it will struggle. If you have less resources, you willy only be able to run a few services, not the whole stack. Turn everything else off/maintenance mode. Start yarn, mapreduce, hdfs first. Then begin to start hive. Expect things to take a long time so be patient. Make sure nothing else is running on the main machine.
