@phillip young I was facing same kind of issue. I have resolve this issue by using following steps:- 1) Edit Ambari->Hive->Configs->Advanced->Custom hive-site->Add Property..., add the following properties based on your HBase configurations(you can search in Ambari->HBase->Configs): custom hive-site.xml hbase.zookeeper.quorum=xyz (find this property value from hbase ) zookeeper.znode.parent=/hbase-unsecure (find this property value from hbase ) phoenix.schema.mapSystemTablesToNamespace=true phoenix.schema.isNamespaceMappingEnabled=true 2) Copy jar to /usr/hdp/current/hive-server2/auxlib from /usr/hdp/2.5.6.0-40/phoenix/phoenix-4.7.0.2.5.6.0-40-hive.jar /usr/hdp/2.5.6.0-40/phoenix/phoenix-hive-4.7.0.2.5.6.0-40-sources.jar If he jar is not working for you then just try to get following jar phoenix-hive-4.7.0.2.5.3.0-37.jar and copy this to /usr/hdp/current/hive-server2/auxlib 3) add property to custom-hive-env HIVE_AUX_JARS_PATH=/usr/hdp/current/hive-server2/auxlib/4) Add follwoing property to custom-hbase-site.xmlphoenix.schema.mapSystemTablesToNamespace=true phoenix.schema.isNamespaceMappingEnabled=true 5) Also run following command 1) jar uf /usr/hdp/current/hive-server2/auxlib/phoenix-4.7.0.2.5.6.0-40-client.jar /etc/hive/conf/hive-site.xml 2) jar uf /usr/hdp/current/hive-server2/auxlib/phoenix-4.7.0.2.5.6.0-40-client.jar /etc/hbase/conf/hbase-site.xml And I hope my solution will work for you 🙂 ...
