I setup Hive cdh4 on RHEL 5 with remote metastore using mysql. I created a database, in mysql, with the same name as in hive-site.xml. I started up metastore server and hive server, but whenever I try to query hive, it throws me an error NoSuchFieldError: METASTORETHRIFTRETRIES.
I believe I'm unable to connect to metastore server or thrift server and this is causing this problem. Please point me to the right path.
