java.net.URISyntaxException when starting HIVE

Question

I am new in HIVE. I have already set up hadoop and it works well, and I want to set up Hive. When I start hive , it shows an error as

Caused by: java.net.URISyntaxException: Relative path in absolute URI: ${system:java.io.tmpdir%7D/$%7Bsystem:user.name%7D

Are there any solutions?

Answer 1

Put the following at the beginning of hive-site.xml

  <property>
    <name>system:java.io.tmpdir</name>
    <value>/tmp/hive/java</value>
  </property>
  <property>
    <name>system:user.name</name>
    <value>${user.name}</value>
  </property>

Change in hfs-site.xml this properties

<name>hive.exec.scratchdir</name>
<value>/tmp/hive-${user.name}</value>

 <name>hive.exec.local.scratchdir</name>
 <value>/tmp/${user.name}</value>

<name>hive.downloaded.resources.dir</name>
<value>/tmp/${user.name}_resources</value>

<name>hive.scratch.dir.permission</name>
    <value>733</value>

restart hive metastore and hiveserver2

Answer 3

I figure it out myself. In the hive-site.xml, replace ${system:java.io.tmpdir}/${system:user.name} by /tmp/mydir as what has been told in https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/AdminManual+Configuration.

Answer 4

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: java.net.URISyntaxException: Relative path in absolute URI: ${system:java.io.tmpdir%7D/$%7Bsystem:user.name%7D system:java.io.tmpdir - path
system:user.name - username

Above properties are system level properties which need to set by user, So hive site template didn't provide these, required manual configuration.

Set the above properties like using property tag with name value key pair in hive-site.xml, Its upto user level to choose the location of temp

<property>
    <name>system:java.io.tmpdir</name>
    <value>/user/local/hive/tmp/java</value>
  </property>
  <property>
    <name>system:user.name</name>
    <value>${user.name}</value>
  </property>
