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"

Answer 2

I faced similar issue when i was setting up HIVE 2.3.1 for the first time. I am using postgres database as a metastore.

Then i had to set the below property to false.

  <property>
    <name>hive.metastore.schema.verification</name>
    <value>false</value>
    <description>
      Enforce metastore schema version consistency.
      True: Verify that version information stored in is compatible with one from Hive jars.  Also disable automatic
            schema migration attempt. Users are required to manually migrate schema after Hive upgrade which ensures
            proper metastore schema migration. (Default)
      False: Warn if the version information stored in metastore doesn't match with one from in Hive jars.

Answer 5

The necessary tables required for the metastore are missing in MySQL. Manually create the tables and restart hive metastore.

The schema files for MySQL will be available under the path $HIVE_HOME/scripts/metastore/upgrade/mysql/.

cd $HIVE_HOME/scripts/metastore/upgrade/mysql/

< Login into MySQL >

mysql> drop database IF EXISTS hive;
mysql> create database hive;
mysql> use hive;
mysql> source hive-schema-2.1.1.mysql.sql;

Restart Hive metastore.
