Configuring the Hive Metastore to Use HDFS HA

The Hive metastore can be configured to use HDFS high availability by using Cloudera Manager or by using the command-line for unmanaged clusters.

  1. In the Cloudera Manager Admin Console, go to the Hive service.
  2. Select Actions > Stop.
      Note: You may want to stop the Hue and Impala services first, if present, as they depend on the Hive service.
    Click Stop again to confirm the command.
  3. Back up the Hive metastore database.
  4. Select Actions > Update Hive Metastore NameNodes and confirm the command.
  5. Select Actions > Start and click Start to confirm the command.
  6. Restart the Hue and Impala services if you stopped them prior to updating the metastore.
