4.3. Configure Beeswax

In the [beeswax] section of the configuration file, you can optionally specify the following:

beeswax_server_host

The hostname or IP that the Beeswax Server should bind to. By default it binds to localhost, and therefore only serves local IPC clients.

hive_home_dir

The base directory of your Hive installation.

hive_conf_dir

The directory containing your hive-site.xml Hive configuration file.

beeswax_server_heapsize

The heap size (-Xmx) of the Beeswax Server.

[Important]Important

Depending on your environment and the Hive queries you run, queries may fail with an Internal error processing query message. Look for an error message java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded in the beeswax_server.out log file. To increase the heap size to avoid this out of memory error, modify the hadoop-env.sh file and change the value of HADOOP_CLIENT_OPTS.
