Hive Metastore doesn't start. It seems there is an issue with the hive database creation or connection. It's been two days I am going throw this issue. Do you have any suggestions ? Here is the stderr : Traceback (most recent call last): File "/var/lib/ambari-agent/cache/common-services/HIVE/0.12.0.2.0/package/scripts/hive_metastore.py", line 260, in <module> HiveMetastore().execute() File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/resource_management/libraries/script/script.py", line 314, in execute method(env) File "/var/lib/ambari-agent/cache/common-services/HIVE/0.12.0.2.0/package/scripts/hive_metastore.py", line 60, in start create_metastore_schema() File "/var/lib/ambari-agent/cache/common-services/HIVE/0.12.0.2.0/package/scripts/hive.py", line 371, in create_metastore_schema user = params.hive_user File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/resource_management/core/base.py", line 155, in __init__ self.env.run() File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/resource_management/core/environment.py", line 160, in run self.run_action(resource, action) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/resource_management/core/environment.py", line 124, in run_action provider_action() File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/resource_management/core/providers/system.py", line 262, in action_run tries=self.resource.tries, try_sleep=self.resource.try_sleep) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/resource_management/core/shell.py", line 72, in inner result = function(command, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/resource_management/core/shell.py", line 102, in checked_call tries=tries, try_sleep=try_sleep, timeout_kill_strategy=timeout_kill_strategy) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/resource_management/core/shell.py", line 150, in _call_wrapper result = _call(command, **kwargs_copy) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/resource_management/core/shell.py", line 303, in _call raise ExecutionFailed(err_msg, code, out, err) resource_management.core.exceptions.ExecutionFailed: Execution of 'export HIVE_CONF_DIR=/usr/hdp/current/hive-metastore/conf/conf.server ; /usr/hdp/current/hive-server2-hive2/bin/schematool -initSchema -dbType mysql -userName hive -passWord [PROTECTED] -verbose' returned 1.
