Error accessing Hive in Hortonworks Data Platform (HDP) on Hortonworks Sandbox

Question

Good evening, you guys, I am trying to access Hive from Hortonworks Data Platform and an error is appearing. Could you help me?

[root@sandbox-hdp ~]# Hive log4j:WARN No such Property [maxBackupIndex] in org.apache.log4j.Dailyrollingfileappender.

Logging initialized using Configuration in file:/etc/Hive/2.6.5.0-292/0/Hive-log4j.properties

First check in ambari if Hive is started, as well as Zookeeper, Ranger, HDFS, YARN and Mapreduce. Poce access ambari at http://localhost:8080/

After all started, access to sandbox per ssh (ssh [email protected] -p 2222) and enter Hive using Beeline as reported below:

Beeline -u "jdbc:hive2://sandbox-hdp.hortonworks.com:2181/;serviceDiscoveryMode=zookeeper;zooKeeperNamespace=hiveserver2" -nhive -phive

If you want to use hivecli, you must enter username and password:

Hive -nhive -phive

If you still can’t, send the complete error.
