Hive startup -[ERROR] Terminal initialization fail

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 with cloudera CDH5.4 . Removing jline-0.9.94.jar from yarn/libs folder worked for me.

Answer 2

With the new version of Hive (1.2.1), I just had to replace jline-2.12.jar with jline-2.13.jar in the installation / lib folder.

Answer 3

You should init the hadoop libary:

$ vi ~/.bashrc
$ export HADOOP_USER_CLASSPATH_FIRST=true
$ source .bashrc
$ hive

Answer 4

Do this locate jline.

The file, jline-0.9.94.jar, is located in 3 locations, delete it from all the 3 locations and do the necessary export:

$ export HADOOP_USER_CLASSPATH_FIRST=true

Answer 5

check this link it might help you Facing issue while running hive from CLI

Answer 6

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
