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

With Hadoop version 2.4.1 and Hive 1.2.0. I had the same issue. And after setting HADOOP_USER_CLASSPATH_FIRST=true in .bashrc

It worked like a charm!!!

Answer 2

I renamed

addJava "-Djline.terminal=jline.UnixTerminal"

to

addJava "-Djline.terminal=jline2.UnixTerminal"

in the "activator" file

Answer 3

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 4

I just set the

HADOOP_USER_CLASSPATH_FIRST=true

and it works for me for this issue.

Answer 5

Try to delete one of this file

SLF4J: Found binding in [jar:file:/usr/local/hadoop/share/hadoop/common/lib/slf4j-log4j12-1.7.5.jar!/org/slf4j/impl/StaticLoggerBinder.class]

SLF4J: Found binding in [jar:file:/usr/lib/hive/apache-hive-1.1.0-bin/lib/hive-jdbc-1.1.0-standalone.jar!/org/slf4j/impl/StaticLoggerBinder.class]

then i think it will only choose to bind to one. so multiple binding will not be available anymore
