Pig, Oozie, and HBase - java.io.IOException: No FileSystem for scheme: hbase - hadoop

My Pig script works fine on its own, until I put it in an Oozie workflow, where I receive the following error:
ERROR 2043: Unexpected error during execution.
org.apache.pig.backend.executionengine.ExecException: ERROR 2043: Unexpected error during execution.
...
Caused by: java.io.IOException: No FileSystem for scheme: hbase
I registered the HBase and Zookeeper jars successfully, but received the same error.
I also attempted to set the Zookeeper Quorum by adding variation of these lines in the Pig script:
SET hbase.zookeeper.quorum 'vm-myhost-001,vm-myhost-002,vm-myhost-003'
Some searching on the internet instructed me to add this to the beginning of my workflow.xml:
SET mapreduce.fileoutputcommitter.marksuccessfuljobs false
This solved the problem. I was even able to remove the registration of the HBase and Zookeeper jars and the Zookeeper quorum.
Now after double checking, I noticed that my jobs actually do their job: they store the results in HBase as expected. But, Oozie claims that a failure occurred, when it didn't.
I don't think that setting the mapreduce.fileoutputcommitter.marksuccessfuljobs to false constitutes a solution.
Are there any other solutions?

It seems that there is currently no real solution for this.
However, this answer to a different question seems to indicate that the best workaround is to create the success flag 'manually'.

Write to HDFS/Hive using NiFi

I'm using Nifi 1.6.0.
I'm trying to write to HDFS and to Hive (cloudera) with nifi.
On "PutHDFS" I'm configure the "Hadoop Confiugration Resources" with hdfs-site.xml, core-site.xml files, set the directories and when I'm trying to Start it I got the following error:
"Failed to properly initialize processor, If still shcedule to run,
NIFI will attempt to initalize and run the Processor again after the
'Administrative Yield Duration' has elapsed. Failure is due to
java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException:
java.lang.reflect.InvicationTargetException"
On "PutHiveStreaming" I'm configure the "Hive Metastore URI" with
thrift://..., the database and the table name and on "Hadoop
Confiugration Resources" I'm put the Hive-site.xml location and when
I'm trying to Start it I got the following error:
"Hive streaming connect/write error, flow file will be penalized and routed to retry.
org.apache.nifi.util.hive.HiveWritter$ConnectFailure: Failed connectiong to EndPoint {metaStoreUri='thrift://myserver:9083', database='mydbname', table='mytablename', partitionVals=[]}:".
How can I solve the errors?
Thanks.
For #1, if you got your *-site.xml files from the cluster, it's possible that they are using internal IPs to refer to components like the DataNodes and you won't be able to reach them directly using that. Try setting dfs.client.use.datanode.hostname to true in your hdfs-site.xml on the client.
For #2, I'm not sure PutHiveStreaming will work against Cloudera, IIRC they use Hive 1.1.x and PutHiveStreaming is based on 1.2.x, so there may be some Thrift incompatibilities. If that doesn't seem to be the issue, make sure the client can connect to the metastore port (looks like 9083).

Getting error on hive " Unable to retrieve URL for Hadoop Task logs. Does not contain a valid host:port authority: local"

I am getting this error which executing any query on hive which involves mapreduce.
“ Unable to retrieve URL for Hadoop Task logs. Does not contain a valid host:port authority: local”
The reported Exceptions is seen in older versions of Hadoop (i.e. before YARN). Mostly you are using older versions of Hadoop.
The exception is seen when value of mapred.job.tracker parameter is set to "local" in mapred-site.xml instead it should be <IP address of job tracker>:<port>.

FAILED: Error in metadata: java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to instantiate org.apache.hadoop.hive.metastore.HiveMetaStoreClient

I shutdown my HDFS client while HDFS and hive instances were running. Now when I relogged into Hive, I can't execute any of my DDL Tasks e.g. "show tables" or "describe tablename" etc. It is giving me the error as below
ERROR exec.Task (SessionState.java:printError(401)) - FAILED: Error in metadata: java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to instantiate org.apache.hadoop.hive.metastore.HiveMetaStoreClient
org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.metadata.HiveException: java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to instantiate org.apache.hadoop.hive.metastore.HiveMetaStoreClient
Can anybody suggest what do I need to do to get my metastore_db instantiated without recreating the tables? Otherwise, I have to duplicate the effort of creating the entire database/schema once again.
I have resolved the problem. These are the steps I followed:
Go to $HIVE_HOME/bin/metastore_db
Copied the db.lck to db.lck1 and dbex.lck to dbex.lck1
Deleted the lock entries from db.lck and dbex.lck
Log out from hive shell as well as from all running instances of HDFS
Re-login to HDFS and hive shell. If you run DDL commands, it may again give you the "Could not instantiate HiveMetaStoreClient error"
Now copy back the db.lck1 to db.lck and dbex.lck1 to dbex.lck
Log out from all hive shell and HDFS instances
Relogin and you should see your old tables
Note: Step 5 may seem a little weird because even after deleting the lock entry, it will still give the HiveMetaStoreClient error but it worked for me.
Advantage: You don't have to duplicate the effort of re-creating the entire database.
Hope this helps somebody facing the same error. Please vote if you find useful. Thanks ahead
I was told that generally we get this exception if we the hive console not terminated properly.
The fix:
Run the jps command, look for "RunJar" process and kill it using
kill -9 command
See: getting error in hive
Have you copied the jar containing the JDBC driver for your metadata db into Hive's lib dir?
For instance, if you're using MySQL to hold your metadata db, you wll need to copy
mysql-connector-java-5.1.22-bin.jar into $HIVE_HOME/lib.
This fixed that same error for me.
I faced the same issue and resolved it by starting the metastore service. Sometimes service might get stopped if your machine is re-booted or went down. You could start the service by running the command:
Login as $HIVE_USER
nohup hive --service metastore>$HIVE_LOG_DIR/hive.out 2>$HIVE_LOG_DIR/hive.log &
I had a similar problem with hive server and followed the below steps:
1. Go to $HIVE_HOME/bin/metastore_db
2. Copied the db.lck to db.lck1 and dbex.lck to dbex.lck1
3. Deleted the lock entries from db.lck and dbex.lck
4. Relogin from hive shell. It is working
Thanks
For instance, I use MySQL to hold metadata db, I copied
mysql-connector-java-5.1.22-bin.jar into $HIVE_HOME/lib folder
My error resolved
I also was facing the same problem, and figured out that I had both hive-deafult.xml and hive-site.xml(created manually by me),
I moved my hive-site.xml to hive-site.xml-template(as I was not needed this file) then
started hive, worked fine.
Cheers,
Ajmal
I have faced this issue and in my case it was while running hive command from command line.
I resolved this issue by running kinit command as I was using kerberized hive.
kinit -kt <your keytab file location> <kerberos principal>

FAILED: Error in metadata: MetaException(message:Got exception: java.net.ConnectException Call to localhost/127.0.0.1:54310 failed

I am using Ubuntu 12.04, hadoop-0.23.5, hive-0.9.0.
I specified my metastore_db separately to some other place $HIVE_HOME/my_db/metastore_db in hive-site.xml
Hadoop runs fine, jps gives ResourceManager,NameNode,DataNode,NodeManager,SecondaryNameNode
Hive gets started perfectly,metastore_db & derby.log also created,and all hive commands run successfully,I can create databases,table,etc. But after few day later,when I run show databases,or show tables, get below error
FAILED: Error in metadata: MetaException(message:Got exception: java.net.ConnectException Call to localhost/127.0.0.1:54310 failed on connection exception: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused) FAILED: Execution Error, return code 1 from org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.DDLTask
I had this problem too and the accepted answer did not help me so will add my solution here for others:
My problem was I had a single machine with a pseudo distributed set up installed with hive. It was working fine with localhost as the host name. However when we decided to add multiple machines to the cluster we also decided to give the machines proper names "machine01, machine 02 etc etc".
I changed all the hadoop conf/*-site.xml files and the hive-site.xml file too but still had the error. After exhaustive research I realized that in the metastore db hive was picking up the URIs not from *-site files, but from the metastore tables in mysql. Where all the hive table meta data was saved are two tables SDS and DBS. Upon changing the DB_LOCATION_URI column and LOCATION in the tables DBS and SDS respectively to point to the latest namenode URI, I was back in business.
Hope this helps others.
reasons for this
If you changed your Hadoop/Hive version,you may be specifying previous hadoop version (which has ds.default.name=hdfs://localhost:54310 in core-site.xml) in your hive-0.9.0/conf/hive-env.sh
file
$HADOOP_HOME may be point to some other location
Specified version of Hadoop is not working
your namenode may be in safe mode ,run bin/hdfs dfsadmin -safemode leave or bin/hadoop dsfadmin -safemode leave
In case of fresh installation
the above problem can be the effect of a name node issue
try formatting the namenode using the command
hadoop namenode -format
1.Turn off your namenode from safe mode. Try the commands below:
hadoop dfsadmin -safemode leave
2.Restart your Hadoop daemons:
sudo service hadoop-master stop
sudo service hadoop-master start

Pig MR job failing when run by same user who started the cluster

I am seeing this exception intermittently for some mappers and reducers in my Pig map reduce job. Most of the times it is retried on some other node and the task succeeds. But sometimes all 4 tasks fails and the map reduce job fails.
However the interesting thing is the folder jobcache indeed has permissions 700. I dont understand why it is not able to create the folder inside it.

I am using Hadoop 1.0.1 if that helps. One more thing which i found while searching online was: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-890. In my case the user who started the mapred cluster is indeed running the job and that is when it fails. For any other user the job runs just fine.
Any help would be appreciated.
change the permissions of the directories you have used as property values in your .xml configuration files to 755
