Hadoop was configured to run in pseudo-distributed mode. However, when I tried to create a hive table, I got this rather misleading error: > {code} > FAILED: Error in metadata: java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to instantiate org.apache.hadoop.hive.metastore.HiveMetaStoreClient > FAILED: Execution Error, return code 1 from org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.DDLTask > {code} > We should look into making this error message less misleading (more about hadoop daemons not running instead of metastore client not being instantiable). -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1#6144)
