Any Solution ?

Answer 1

org.apache.thrift.TApplicationException: Required field 'client_protocol' is unset! Struct:TOpenSessionReq(client_protocol:null, configuration:{use:database=default}) at org.apache.thrift.TApplicationException.read(TApplicationException.java:111)

This error mostly occurs if you have version mismatch between your hive and hive-jdbc. Please check if both the versions match.

Please refer this for more information.

Answer 2

This happens when a new version of JDBC driver is used against older version of HiveServer2. Use a jdbc driver that is same version as server (preferred), or an version that is older than the server.

The issue is tracked in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-6050
