Hive 2.1.1 MetaException(message:Version information not found in metastore. )

Question

I\'m running Hadoop 2.7.3, MySQL 5.7.17 and Hive 2.1.1 on Ubuntu 16.04.

When I run ./hive, I keep getting the following warning and exception:

SLF4J:         


        

Answer 1

I have faced the similar issue. The issue can be solved by initializing Metastore Schema using below command for Mysql

schematool --dbType mysql --initSchema

this command can be used for any Metastore => replace dbType "mysql" with the "Metastrore used for hive"
