Hive service fails with derby connection exception - hadoop

Question

I am trying to set up Hadoop 2.7.2 on Ubuntu 16.04.
I have done the Hadoop single-node cluster; I'm now trying Hive with Derby for metadata.
I believe that I've supplied appropriate permissions on the localhost port in java.policy. I have Hadoop Services started.
However, when I try to run Hive $HIVE_HOME/bin/hive, it fails with following exception trace.
Any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

Your ubuntu server is refusing connections on port 1527. Either the derby server isn't running or you have a firewall rule blocking the connections. Run a lsof -i TCP:1527 to see if a process is running on the port. You can also try telneting to the port with telnet localhost 1527.
If you see a process on the port then the connection is probably blocked by a firewall rule or you have a stale process holding open the port. You can kill the PID and try restarting hive.
Start by debugging why the Derby server isn't starting by looking at the derby / hive server logs. These type of conditions are usually caused by permission issues on linux file paths or logs etc.
You may want to do some research on using mysql for your hive metadata if you plan on using this for more than a sandbox environment.
