Could not create ServerSocket when starting Hive metastore

When starting Hive metastore on an HDInsight cluster (a Hadoop distribution for Microsoft Azure), I'm getting this error:

org.apache.thrift.transport.TTransportException: Could not create ServerSocket on address 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0:9083.

This is the command I ran:

hive --service metastore

What's the next thing you would try to do?

Solution

  • Instead of hive --service metastore I ran stop_daemons and then start_daemons and it seems to work every time.
