unable to start hive server

Question

Hive services are not starting. The command just hangs indefinitely and does not complete. the command I am using is :

hive --service hiveserver2

Answer 1

It seems that your hive server is not running properly.

Please try the below commands in your command line and try running your hive server.

$HIVE_HOME/bin/hive --service hiveserver2 &
nohup hiveserver2 &
nohup hive --service hiveserver2 &

You will get the warnings which can be neglected.
