Error when trying to run hive - hadoop

Question

I have installed hive(2.1.1) on Hadoop(2.7.3) in aws ec2 Ubuntu 14.04 instance.
Earlier I was able start hive by just typing commands start-all.sh and hive now when I try to do it again, I am getting the following error:
_Logging initialized using configuration in jar:file:/usr/local/hive/lib/hive-common-2.1.1.jar!/hive-log4j2.properties Async: true

How can I solve it?
(I also tried hdfs dfsadmin -safemode leave)

Answer 1

My disk space was low and my hdfs was full so I cleaned hdfs and was able to start hive smoothly.
I used the following commands:
hdfs dfsadmin -report
hdfs dfsadmin -safemode leave
hdfs dfs -rm -R directory/name/which/contains/waste/files
Special Thanks for #philantrovert :)
