Hive启动出现权限错误 /tmp/hive on HDFS should be writable.

一．启动Hadoop后运行Hive时出现如下错误。

         Exception in thread "main"java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.RuntimeException:The root scratch dir:/tmp/hive on HDFS should be writable.

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: 
The root scratch dir: /tmp/hive on HDFS should be writable. Current permissions are: rwxr-xr-x
	at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.session.SessionState.createRootHDFSDir(SessionState.java:705)

二． 错误分析。

从The root scratch dir: /tmp/hive on HDFS should be writable. Currentpermissions are: rwxr-xr-x可以看出。系统要求在hdfs上用户应该具备写权限，而从报错可以看出只有所有者具有写权限，所有组合其他用户不具备。

三．错误修改。

使用hadoop fs hadoop fs -chmod -R dir修改目录权限，如下 

root@hadoop22 ~]# hadoop fs -chmod -R 777 /tmp

使其他用户也具备本目录的写权限
