Hi Everybody,
                                I am using Apache's Hadoop-0.20.2 and Apache's Hive-0.7.0. I have a 2 node cluster. One Redhat Linux 6.0(Hadoop Server) and other Windows 7 using Cygwin. The Hadoop cluster is working fine. I have checked by executing various examples provided with Hadoop. Map reduce jobs are being executed fine. For Hive I am using MySQL for metastore with following configuration is hive-site.xml :

<property>
<name>javax.jdo.option.ConnectionURL</name>
<value>jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/metastore?createDatabaseIfNotExist=true</value>
</property>

<property>
<name>javax.jdo.option.ConnectionDriverName</name>
<value>com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</value>
</property>

<property>
<name>javax.jdo.option.ConnectionUserName</name>
<value>hiveuser</value>
</property>

<property>
<name>javax.jdo.option.ConnectionPassword</name>
<value>hiveuser</value>
</property>

<property>
  <name>datanucleus.autoCreateSchema</name>
  <value>false</value>
</property>

<property>
  <name>datanucleus.fixedDatastore</name>
  <value>true</value>
</property>
I created the DB and hiveuser in mysql using following commands:
mysql> CREATE DATABASE metastore;
mysql> USE metastore;
mysql> SOURCE /usr/local/hive/scripts/metastore/upgrade/mysql/hive-schema-0.7.0.mysql.sql;

mysql> CREATE USER 'hiveuser'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'hiveuser';
mysql> GRANT ALL ON metastore.* TO 'hiveuser'@'%';

I created a table using the following command on hive:
hive> Create table abcd(ab int, cd string) row format delimited fields terminated by '#' stored as textfile;

Then I created a file abcddata.txt containing the following data
11#aa
22#bb
33#cc

Then I loaded this data into table abcd using :
Hive> Load sata local inpath 'path/to/abcd.txt' into table abcd;

Now when I execute "select * from abcd" it runs successfully and shows the data in abcd.
But if I run "select ab from abcd" or " select * from abcd where cd='aa'" it returns error:

FAILED: Execution Error, return code 2 from org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.MapRedTask

In the logs I found:
Caused by: java.util.NoSuchElementException
        at java.util.Vector.lastElement(Vector.java:456)
        at com.sun.beans.ObjectHandler.lastExp(ObjectHandler.java:134)

        at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.Utilities.getMapRedWork(Utilities.java:184)
And when I tried to access Hive from a java program using connection string:
(jdbc:mysql://master:3306/metastore","hiveuser","hiveuser")
Running command "describe abcd" it returns:
Exception in thread "main" com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.MySQLSyntaxErrorException: Table 'metastore.abcd' doesn't exist

Then on the mysql server I ran:
mysql> use metastore;
mysql> show tables;

The table abcd is not there. The table is not being stored in the mysql metastore db.
So how come on Hive CLI, when I do "select * from abcd" it shows the data in the table. And "show tables" shows abcd there. It means Hive CLI is not using the mysql metastore for storing and "select *" statement but whenever it's a statement that requires map reduce jobs or while accessing via java program using connection string it uses mysql metastore. It must be some configuration mistake I think. Please help me out.

Hive tables do not have a 1-1 mapping to tables in MySQL. In other words, your hive table "abcd" will NOT be a table within the MySQL "metastore" database.

If you want to see what is going on in the MySQL metastore, you can do the following:
mysql> use metastore;
mysql> show tables;

You should see a TBLS table, which should contain an entry for the Hive table that you just created (I.e. abcd):

mysql> select * from TBLS;

As for your execution error, go to your job tracker UI to see if there are any obvious errors. Looks like people have seen errors like this before (http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/hive-user/201012.mbox/%[EMAIL PROTECTED]%3E). Are you able to run regular Hadoop jobs (I.e. non-Hive)? If you can't run regular Hadoop jobs, you might want to start debugging that first.

I checked the TBLS table. It contains an entry for abcd.
About Hadoop only jobs. Yes I ran examples provided with Hadoop which don't use hive at all. They ran fine, I checked their output also.

I tried executing "select ab from abcd" on hive CLI and checked the job tracker UI. There were 2 failed map jobs giving the following error:
java.lang.RuntimeException: java.util.NoSuchElementException
        at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.Utilities.getMapRedWork(Utilities.java:192)

        at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.Utilities.getMapRedWork(Utilities.java:184)
        ... 5 more

And there were no reduce jobs executed. This is the same error I got when I was using hive derby for metastore. I have checked for any Lower-Uppercase typos or spelling mistakes in the column name or table name. They are all ok.
One more thing I need to ask. Is the connection string (jdbc:mysql://master:3306/metastore","hiveuser","hiveuser") correct. I mean you said that the metastore db doesn't contain the tables directly. And here we are specifying to use the metastore DB. What should be the connection string if I want to access the table abcd via a java program.
I tried TBLS.abcd instead of abcd in the query I was executing in the java program. It gave the following error:
Exception in thread "main" com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.MySQLSyntaxErrorException: SELECT command denied to user 'hiveuser'@'slave' for table 'abcd'

I checked the permissions for hiveuser on metastore DB, re-run the command "GRANT ALL ON metastore.* TO 'hiveuser'@'%';", but still when I run the java program it gives the same error.
Does this points to anything.

Aditya

I created a table using the following command on hive:

Then I created a file abcddata.txt containing the follow

Hi,
                I tried some more things :

I created a new table with same structure as table abcd as follows:
hive> create table abcdfinal(ab int, cd string) row format delimited fields terminated by '#' stored as rcfile;

and then loaded the data into this new table by selecting * from old table abcd:
hive> insert overwrite table abcdfinal select * from abcd;

This also results in the same error as the "select ab from abcd" and "select * from abcd where cd='aa'".
The command  "select * from abcd" was working file alone. But with the insert command it also gives error. The error on the jobtracker UI is also same,"NoSuchElementFound".

What I got from all this is whatever be the query, if hive creates map-reduce job for it, it results in exception. If it is not being executed as map reduce jobs, for e.g. select * from abcd, show tables, describe abcd, then it works fine.

What am I doing wrong.

Thanks,
Aditya

I checked the TBLS table. It contains an entry for abcd.
About Hadoop only jobs. Yes I ran examples provided with Hadoop which don't use hive at all. They ran fine, I checked their output also.

I tried executing "select ab from abcd" on hive CLI and checked the job tracker UI. There were 2 failed map jobs giving the following error:

And there were no reduce jobs executed. This is the same error I got when I was using hive derby for metastore. I have checked for any Lower-Uppercase typos or spelling mistakes in the column name or table name. They are all ok.
One more thing I need to ask. Is the connection string (jdbc:mysql://master:3306/metastore","hiveuser","hiveuser") correct. I mean you said that the metastore db doesn't contain the tables directly. And here we are specifying to use the metastore DB. What should be the connection string if I want to access the table abcd via a java program.
I tried TBLS.abcd instead of abcd in the query I was executing in the java program. It gave the following error:
Exception in thread "main" com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.MySQLSyntaxErrorException: SELECT command denied to user 'hiveuser'@'slave' for table 'abcd'

I checked the permissions for hiveuser on metastore DB, re-run the command "GRANT ALL ON metastore.* TO 'hiveuser'@'%';", but still when I run the java program it gives the same error.
Does this points to anything.

Hive tables do not have a 1-1 mapping to tables in MySQL. In other words, your hive table "abcd" will NOT be a table within the MySQL "metastore" database.

If you want to see what is going on in the MySQL metastore, you can do the following:
mysql> use metastore;
mysql> show tables;

You should see a TBLS table, which should contain an entry for the Hive table that you just created (I.e. abcd):

mysql> select * from TBLS;

As for your execution error, go to your job tracker UI to see if there are any obvious errors. Looks like people have seen errors like this before (http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/hive-user/201012.mbox/%[EMAIL PROTECTED]%3E). Are you able to run regular Hadoop jobs (I.e. non-Hive)? If you can't run regular Hadoop jobs, you might want to start debugging that first.

Hi Everybody,
                                I am using Apache's Hadoop-0.20.2 and Apache's Hive-0.7.0. I have a 2 node cluster. One Redhat Linux 6.0(Hadoop Server) and other Windows 7 using Cygwin. The Hadoop cluster is working fine. I have checked by executing various examples provided with Hadoop. Map reduce jobs are being executed fine. For Hive I am using MySQL for metastore with following configuration is hive-site.xml :

<property>
<name>javax.jdo.option.ConnectionURL</name>

As far as I can tell, there are two things going on here:

  1.  You are trying to access Hive via JDBC – if so, you are not going to be able to connect to the Hive DB the way you are trying to. If you do want to access Hive via JDBC, follow instructions here: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/HiveClient. You are going to need to run a standalone Hive server for JDBC access.
  2.  You are correct – it seems like you are unable to run any Hive jobs that require MapReduce. If you are getting the same error even with Derby, then it may be safe to assume that MySQL is not the culprit. I am not certain what the problem is here – however, you might want to run your query in local mode (https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/GettingStarted#GettingStarted-Hive%2CMapReduceandLocalMode) to ensure that it works. Next, I would start with a single node Hadoop installation (to rule out any configuration mismatch between your Ubuntu and Cygwin nodes).

Hope that helps.

Hi Everybody,
                                I am using Apache’s Hadoop-0.20.2 and Apache’s Hive-0.7.0. I have a 2 node cluster. One Redhat Linux 6.0(Hadoop Server) and other Windows 7 using Cygwin. The Hadoop cluster is working

Hi,

@Jasper:
yes I have placed the MySQL connector in hive/lib and Hadoop/lib on both the nodes.

@Sriram:
I already tried running Hadoop in pseudo distributed mode on a single node before moving on to 2 node cluster. I started hive Thrift server on it and accessed Hive DB from my windows machine using java code. It worked fine, all the queries, Including the ones having map reduce jobs.
Regarding accessing hive thru jdbc, I figured I was doing the wrong thing, that MySQL connection URL was for hive to use MySQL for metastore not for hiveClient to access the hive DB :). I changed the code back to as described in the hiveClient tutorial (which I had already tested for pseudo distributed mode), didn't get any 'access denied' or 'no such table' errors, but the result was same, as it was on hive CLI or HWI. It starts the map-reduce jobs, "No such element found exception" occurs and execution is terminated with return code 2.
I again checked my Hadoop cluster by running some Hadoop (non-hive) examples, performing some operations on HDFS, they worked fine.
I wanted to ask one more thing. Am I right if I think that when we execute a query on say Hive CLI which runs mapreduce jobs on the Hadoop cluster, Then after the map reduce job are created, the job is like any other Hadoop job and does not requires Hive anymore.(except for the libraries which it will include in the mapreduce job program/code)??

I don't know wht to do. The only thing I can think of doing right now is getting another linux machine in place of windows machine n try all linux nodes in the cluster rather than windows-linux combination. Hive didn't worked on my windows even in the local mode. :(
Thanks,
Aditya

And there were no reduce jobs executed. This is the same error I got when I was using hive derby for metastore. I have checked for any Lower-Uppercase typos or spelling mistakes in the column name or table name. They are all ok.
One more thing I need to ask. Is the connection string (jdbc:mysql://master:3306/metastore","hiveuser","hiveuser") correct. I mean you said that the metastore db doesn't contain the tables directly. And here we are specifying to use the metastore DB. What should be the connection string if I want to access the table abcd via a java program.
I tried TBLS.abcd instead of abcd in the query I was executing in the java program. It gave the following error:
Exception in thread "main" com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.MySQLSyntaxErrorException: SELECT command denied to user 'hiveuser'@'slave' for table 'abcd'

I checked the permissions for hiveuser on metastore DB, re-run the command "GRANT ALL ON metastore.* TO 'hiveuser'@'%';", but still when I run the java program it gives the same error.
Does this points to anything.
Regards,
Aditya

Hive tables do not have a 1-1 mapping to tables in MySQL. In other words, your hive table "abcd"

Hi Aditya,

I could reproduce the issue. Please create a new database @mysql without
schema-updates. Hive will create the necessary tables if the database has
no tables (?createDatabaseIfNotExist=true). The schema-upgrades are written
for upgrades only, not for new datasets. To create the tables start hive a
fist time and create a table inside. That will took a while, after you can
check your metastore-db:

the createDatabaseIfNotExist property is set on TRUE inside
the javax.jdo.option.ConnectionURL property
So the metadata database should have been created by hive.

@Aditya
Did you create the metadata DB by hand or was it generated by Hive?

Ah... I apologise! I just saw that it was generated by hand.

@Aditya
Remove the database and try with a new one, like Alexander said.

Again, I apologise!
