I’ve completed a cluster upgrade from 2.2.0.0-2041 to 2.2.4.2-2 using the Ambari automated upgrade process. Everything seems to be working fine now with one exception: I’m not able to run queries against Hive. The Hive services are starting fine. I can connect to Hive using the hive and beeline client. However, if I try to “describe <tablename>;” or “select count(*) from <tablename>;”, the client hangs/stalls. Nothing happens at all beyond this point. I don’t see any error messages to indicate there is a problem, but the command /never/ finishes.
Anyone have any ideas what the problem might be? I do have Ranger configured. Perhaps I need to delete the Ranger repository and create a new one for Hive?
