Beeline version 2.3.2 by Apache Hiv

So idk what is going on and how to solve this problem. What am i missing?

Answer 1

After research and help of colleagues (https://github.com/rbonela), found out that the problem was with permissions beeing denied in the directory: /var/lib/postgresql/data

So, the solution was kill all containers, edit docker-compose.yml file, on the hive-metastore-postgresql configuration section, change the directory /var/lib/postgresql/datato another one you like.

Test it out again. This worked for me.

Answer 2

If you are running hive server in a docker and trying to connect within the docker then you should not use host name as localhost. Use container name of hive server as hostname.

beeline -u jdbc:hive2://<container_name>:10000
