Hive metastore database is not initialized. Please use schematool（...） to create the schema.

一：问题：Exception in thread “main” java.lang.RuntimeException: Hive metastore database is not initialized. Please use schematool (e.g. ./schematool -initSchema -dbType …) to create the schema.

异常操作如下：

二：原因：由于没有初始化元数据库； 

三：解决方法： 
命令行输入：./schematool -initSchema -dbType derby 
输入完这句之后可能会报如下错： 
Error: FUNCTION ‘NUCLEUS_ASCII’ already exists. (state=X0Y68,code=30000) 
原因：这可能是因为你的metastore_db文件夹已经存在； 
解决办法：将当前文件夹下的metastor_db文件夹删除，重新输入指令：./schematool -initSchema -dbType derby即可；

操作如下：

[root@master bin]# ./schematool -initSchema -dbType derby
