FAILED: Error in metadata: MetaException(message:Could not connect to meta store using any of the URIs provided)
FAILED: Execution Error, return code 1 from org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.DDLTask

Solution: 

1. It implies that the hive metastore server is not started up, so please use the following commands to start it up:

[root @.. bin]# hive --service metastore &

2. Please also check if the parameters of metastore server you want to connect to are correct.
