Hi, I've installed ambari and have everything else running but for some reason, hiveserver2 won't start up.I attempted to run hiveserver2 through the command line and it runs fine. After starting hiveserver2 through Ambari (and failing), I looked into the hiveserver2.log file, the following error appears: 2016-07-13 20:18:23,476 INFO [main]: server.HiveServer2 (HiveServer2.java:startHiveServer2(421)) -
