I am trying to configure a pseudo cluster with both CM 5.13 and CHD 5.13 installed in the cluster nodes  (docker containers), but am having some problems getting the Hive service work. Specifically the issue I have is that the Hive Metastore is not using my local MySQL database, but is instead defaulting to a non existent Postgresql database . Here are the steps I took:   1) I configured Mysql server and a database for the metastore by following the official steps here: https://www.cloudera.com/documentation/enterprise/latest/topics/cdh_ig_hive_metastore_configure.html#topic_18_4_3__title_515 And as described in the last step, I added the following properties to /opt/cloudera/parcels/CDH-5.13.1-1.cdh5.13.1.p0.2/lib/hive/conf/hive-site.xml:   (...) xml that was already there (...) <property> <name>javax.jdo.option.ConnectionURL</name> <value>jdbc:mysql://localhost/metastore</value> <description>the URL of the MySQL database</description> </property> <property> <name>javax.jdo.option.ConnectionDriverName</name> <value>com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</value> </property> <property> <name>javax.jdo.option.ConnectionUserName</name> <value>hive</value> </property> <property> <name>javax.jdo.option.ConnectionPassword</name> <value>mypassword</value> </property> <property> <name>datanucleus.autoCreateSchema</name> <value>false</value> </property> <property> <name>datanucleus.fixedDatastore</name> <value>true</value> </property> <property> <name>datanucleus.autoStartMechanism</name> <value>SchemaTable</value> </property> <property> <name>hive.metastore.schema.verification</name> <value>true</value> </property> And finally I restarted the CMS.   2) After this I tried to start the Hive Metastore from the CM  but it did not work, and after inspecting the stderr log I found the following error:  + exec /opt/cloudera/parcels/CDH-5.13.1-1.cdh5.13.1.p0.2/lib/hive/bin/hive --config /var/run/cloudera-scm-agent/process/188-hive-HIVEMETASTORE --service metastore -p 9083~ javax.jdo.JDOException: Exception thrown when executing query at org.datanucleus.api.jdo.NucleusJDOHelper.getJDOExceptionForNucleusException(NucleusJDOHelper.java:596) .... org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: ERROR: column A0.SCHEMA_VERSION_V2 does not exist And indeed, after checking  /var/run/cloudera-scm-agent/process/188-hive-HIVEMETASTORE/hive-site.xml  The first line of the file was:  <property> <name>javax.jdo.option.ConnectionURL</name> <value>jdbc:postgresql://headnode1.cluster:7432/hive</value> </property>  The error  "column A0.SCHEMA_VERSION_V2 does not exist", from what I could tell, is related to the metastore database schema not being correct, but in my Mysql metastore database I used: SOURCE /usr/lib/hive/scripts/metastore/upgrade/mysql/hive-schema-1.1.0.mysql.sql;   So I believe the problem here is the fact that the CSM is ignoring the config file in /opt/cloudera/parcels/CDH-5.13.1-1.cdh5.13.1.p0.2/lib/hive/conf/hive-site.xml    Any ideas on this issue?
