General Errors after Hive installation

We may get couple of errors when we try to start hive via bin/hive command. The followings are the errors and corresponding fixes:

Error #1:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: Couldn't create directory ${system:java.io.tmpdir}/${hive.session.id}_resources

Fix #1: edit hive-site.xml:
  <property>
    <name>hive.downloaded.resources.dir</name>
    <!--
    <value>${system:java.io.tmpdir}/${hive.session.id}_resources</value>
    -->
    <value>/home/hduser/hive/tmp/${hive.session.id}_resources</value>
    <description>Temporary local directory for added resources in the remote file system.</description>
  </property>

Error #2:
java.net.URISyntaxException: Relative path in absolute URI: ${system:java.io.tmpdir%7D/$%7Bsystem:user.name%7D
Fix #2: replace ${system:java.io.tmpdir}/${system:user.name} by /tmp/mydir in hive-site.xml (see Confluence - AdminManual Configuration):
  <property>
    <name>hive.exec.local.scratchdir</name>
    <!--
    <value>${system:java.io.tmpdir}/${system:user.name}</value>
    -->
    <value>/tmp/mydir</value>
    <description>Local scratch space for Hive jobs</description>
  </property>

Now that we fixed the errors, let's start Hive CLI:

hduser@laptop:/usr/local/apache-hive-2.1.0-bin/bin$ hive

Hive-on-MR is deprecated in Hive 2 and may not be available in the future versions. Consider using a different execution engine (i.e. spark, tez) or using Hive 1.X releases.

To display all the tables:

hive> show tables;
OK
Time taken: 4.603 seconds

We can exit from that Hive shell by using exit command:

hive> exit;
