Hello,
I am following the “manual rpm” installation instructions for Ubuntu 12.0.4 and am stuck on the instructions to validate the hive installation http://docs.hortonworks.com/HDPDocuments/HDP2/HDP-2.1-latest/bk_installing_manually_book/content/rpm-chap6-6.html I am starting the hive server by running nohup hive --service metastore -hiveconf hive.log.file=hivemetastore.log >$HIVE_LOG_DIR/hive.out 2>$HIVE_LOG_DIR/hive.log & as the hive user. But when I then try to run the hive command, it errors with the following exceptions:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to instantiate org.apache.hadoop.hive.metastore.HiveMetaStoreClient
Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to instantiate org.apache.hadoop.hive.metastore.HiveMetaStoreClient
Caused by: java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException
Caused by: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space
I tried editing the HADOOP_OPTS variables which are set in /etc/hive/conf/hive-env.sh by increasing the -Xms settings, which were defaulted to 10m, but when I set it above 256m I receive a “Error occurred during initialization of VM Initial heap size set to a larger value than the maximum heap size” error. I am performing this installation on a EC2 system with 15GB of RAM with 9GB currently free.
Advice on where to adjust the memory setting would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mac
