Unable to instantiate metadata.SessionHiveMetaStoreClient in Hive(Ubuntu 16.04)


I am trying to setup hive 2.3.0 with mysql on Ubuntu 16.04. I have installed Hadoop and it's running fine. I am able to enter hive console, however no commands are being executed instead it gives me an error:

SemanticException org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.metadata.HiveException: java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to instantiate org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.metadata.SessionHiveMetaStoreClient

Here's my hive-site.xml

<configuration>
<property>
  <name>javax.jdo.option.ConnectionURL</name>
  <value>jdbc:mysql://localhost/metastore?useSSL=true;</value>
  <description>metadata is stored in a MySQL server</description>
</property>
<property>
  <name>javax.jdo.option.ConnectionDriverName</name>
  <value>com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</value>
  <description>MySQL JDBC driver class</description>
</property>
<property>
  <name>javax.jdo.option.ConnectionUserName</name>
  <value>hiveuser</value>
  <description>user name for connecting to mysql server</description>
</property>
<property>
  <name>javax.jdo.option.ConnectionPassword</name>
  <value>hivepassword</value>
  <description>password for connecting to mysql server</description>
</property>
</configuration>

I have also created metastore database in mysql using this link.

Solution

  • I figured the solution. The issue that Metastore wasn't instantiate is due to duplicated keys in mysql. Instead of Sourcing the the hive schema from mysql. Use this:hive --service metastore

    I updated the hive-site.xml too:

    <configuration>
     <property>
      <name>javax.jdo.option.ConnectionURL</name>
      <value>jdbc:mysql://localhost/metastore?useSSL=false</value>
      <description>metadata is stored in a MySQL server</description>
    </property>
    <property>
      <name>javax.jdo.option.ConnectionDriverName</name>
      <value>com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</value>
      <description>MySQL JDBC driver class</description>
    </property>
    <property>
      <name>javax.jdo.option.ConnectionUserName</name>
      <value>Username</value>
      <description>user name for connecting to mysql server</description>
    </property>
    <property>
      <name>javax.jdo.option.ConnectionPassword</name>
      <value>Password</value>
      <description>password for connecting to mysql server</description>
    </property>
    <property>
     <name>datanucleus.autoCreateSchema</name>
     <value>true</value>
    </property>
    <property>
     <name>datanucleus.fixedDatastore</name>
     <value>true</value>
    </property>
    <property>
     <name>datanucleus.autoCreateTables</name>
     <value>True</value>
    </property>
