I installed Apache hive 3, Apache Hadoop 3, Trino and Mysql (mysql Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.7.20, for Linux (x86_64) using EditLine wrapper).
When I start Hive metastore I had an exception, it blocked the start of the metastore:
Exception:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: com/google/common/base/Preconditions.checkArgument(ZLjava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/Object;)V (loaded from file:/root/trino_poc/trino-server-351/etc/catalog/apache-hive-3.1.2-bin/lib/guava-19.0.jar by jdk.internal.loader.ClassLoaders$AppClassLoader@8753f89b) called from class org.apache.hadoop.conf.Configuration (loaded from file:/root/trino_poc/hadoop-3.2.2/share/hadoop/common/hadoop-common-3.2.2.jar by jdk.internal.loader.ClassLoaders$AppClassLoader@8753f89b).
at org.apache.hadoop.conf.Configuration.set(Configuration.java:1357)
My solution was (I found it on github) to replace the guava-19.0.jar by guava-22.0.jar
So the metastore started well on localhost:9083
But the port is not in listen: netstat -na | grep :9083 ==> nothing
in hive log I have this error:
Unable to open a test connection to the given database. JDBC url = jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/metastore_dbs?useSSL=false;createDatabaseIfNotExist=true, username = root. Terminating connection pool (set lazyInit to true if you expect to start your database after your app). Original Exception: ------^M
java.sql.SQLException: The connection property 'useSSL' only accepts values of the form: 'true', 'false', 'yes' or 'no'. The value 'false;createDatabaseIfNotExist=true' is not in this set
So the issue is here: 'false;createDatabaseIfNotExist=true' the ';' is not supported in xml file because this code is exist in hive-site.xml and I need to properly escape the characters.
I used '?' instead, Hivemetastore started but port 9083 is not listen, and I got almost the same exception'false?createDatabaseIfNotExist=true'
I used '&' ==> Hive metastore is not started (failed) and I got this exception:
WARNING: An illegal reflective access operation has occurred
WARNING: Illegal reflective access by com.google.common.base.internal.Finalizer (file:/root/trino_poc/trino-server-351/etc/catalog/apache-hive-3.1.2-bin/lib/guava-22.0.jar) to field java.lang.Thread.inheritableThreadLocals

MetaException(message:org.jets3t.service.security.ProviderCredentials)
If I resume:
To resolve exception to initialize Database and start hive metastore I replace the guava-19.0.jar by guava-22.0.jar but port 9083 is not listen.
Then to resolve the issue of port listening:
I Used '?' instead of ';' ==> hive metastore still started well
but port 9083 in not listen.
I tried using '&' instead of '?' ==> Hive metastore not
started (failed) and I got the exception above related to
guava-22.0.jar
I hope that I was clear. Really I need to your help, because I spent a lot of hours trying to resolve the issue.
Thanks in advance
