@dbalasundaran expanding a bit more on @bbihari's answer above, we have two possible ways to define metastores within a HDC cluster skeleton: 1. Register the metastore first, either through CLI or through the UI, this creates a named metastore entry 2. Refer to the named metastore from your cluster creation skeleton The skeleton created by the "SHOW CLI JSON" option assumes this is what you are trying to do and that it what it generates by default. The alternative way is to define a metastore inline within your CLI definition (as @Dominika Bialek illustrates above). I would recommend the first flow for automation since the intent of what you are trying to do is clearer. HTH Ram
