Hive Setup for Cloudera

Step 1: Create a folder on your Desktop (user defined). I named it hishamHive.

Step 2: Open terminal.

Type: sudo su

If it asks for password type: cloudera

It will come to root@cloudera-vm:/home/cloudera#

Step 3:

root@cloudera-vm:/home/cloudera# > cd /usr/lib/hive/conf/

root@cloudera-vm:/home/cloudera# > sudo gedit hive-site.xml

Now you have to copy the path of the folder that you have created. (ie hishamHive).

Change the property given below:

javax.jdo.option.ConnectionURL jdbc:derby:;databaseName=/home/cloudera/Desktop/hishamHive/metastore/metastore_db;create=true JDBC connect string for a JDBC metastore

Step 4:

Always type this command to enter into hive shell: sudo hive
