hive的Specified key was too long; max key length is 767 bytes问题解决

当在hive中show table 时如果报以下错时

   FAILED: Error in metadata: javax.jdo.JDODataStoreException: Error(s) were found while auto-creating/validating the datastore for classes. The errors are printed in the log, and are attached to this exception.
NestedThrowables:
com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.MySQLSyntaxErrorException: Specified key was too long; max key length is 767 bytes
FAILED: Execution Error, return code 1 from org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.DDLTask

（略去 很多java 提示）

 

是到mysql中的hive数据库里执行 alter database hive character set latin1;改变hive元数据库的字符集，问题就可以解决！
