Hive startup -[ERROR] Terminal initialization failed; falling back to unsupported

Question

I have downloaded hive and modified HADOOP_HOME to

HADOOP_HOME=${bin}/../../usr/local/hadoop

my actual hadoop path is

/usr/local/hadoop

in .bashrc i have added the below env variables

export HIVE_HOME=/usr/lib/hive/apache-hive-1.1.0-bin
export PATH=$PATH:$HIVE_HOME/bin
export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/usr/local/Hadoop/lib/*:.
export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/usr/local/hive/lib/*:.

then i tried starting hive using bin/hive. I got the below error

Answer 1

I had the same problem and got it working from this link:

https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/Hive+on+Spark%3A+Getting+Started

• Hive has upgraded to Jline2 but jline 0.9x exists in the Hadoop lib.

So you should follow these steps:

1. Delete jline from the Hadoop lib directory (it's only pulled in transitively from ZooKeeper).
2. export HADOOP_USER_CLASSPATH_FIRST=true

Answer 2

Try after removing the jline-0.9.94.jar file under the path $HADOOP_HOME/share/hadoop/yarn/lib/jline-0.9.94.jar

Here's the link to jira ticket https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-8609

Answer 3

I just set the

HADOOP_USER_CLASSPATH_FIRST=true

and it works for me for this issue.
