Known Issues in Apache Hive
Learn about the known issues in Hive, the impact or changes to the functionality, and the workaround.
- CDPD-15518: ACID tables you write using the Hive Warehouse Connector cannot be read from an Impala virtual warehouse.
- Read the tables from a Hive virtual warehouse or using Impala queries in Data Hub.
- CDPD-13636: Hive job fails with OutOfMemory exception in the Azure DE cluster
- Set the parameter hive.optimize.sort.dynamic.partition.threshold=0. Add this parameter in Cloudera Manager (Hive Service Advanced Configuration Snippet (Safety Valve) for hive-site.xml)
- ENGESC-2214: Hiveserver2 and HMS service logs are not deleted
- Update Hive log4j configurations. Hive -> Configuration -> HiveServer2 Logging Advanced Configuration Snippet (Safety Valve) Hive Metastore -> Configuration -> Hive Metastore Server Logging Advanced Configuration Snippet (Safety Valve) Add the following to the configurations: appender.DRFA.strategy.action.type=DELETE appender.DRFA.strategy.action.basepath=${log.dir} appender.DRFA.strategy.action.maxdepth=1 appender.DRFA.strategy.action.PathConditions.glob=${log.file}.* appender.DRFA.strategy.action.PathConditions.type=IfFileName appender.DRFA.strategy.action.PathConditions.nestedConditions.type=IfAccumulatedFileCount appender.DRFA.strategy.action.PathConditions.nestedConditions.exceeds=same value as appender.DRFA.strategy.max
- HiveServer Web UI displays incorrect data
- If you enabled auto-TLS for TLS encryption, the HiveServer2 Web UI does not display the correct data in the following tables: Active Sessions, Open Queries, Last Max n Closed Queries
- CDPD-11890: Hive on Tez cannot run certain queries on tables stored in encryption zones
- This problem occurs when the Hadoop Key Management Server (KMS) connection is SSL-encrypted and a self signed certificate is used. SSLHandshakeException might appear in Hive logs.
Technical Service Bulletins
- TSB 2021-501: JOIN queries return wrong result for join keys with large size in Hive
- JOIN queries return wrong results when performing joins on large size keys (larger than 255 bytes). This happens when the fast hash table join algorithm is enabled, which is enabled by default.

- TSB 2021-518: Incorrect results returned when joining two tables with different bucketing versions
- Incorrect results are returned when joining two tables with different bucketing versions, and with the following Hive configurations: set hive.auto.convert.join = false and set mapreduce.job.reduces = any custom value.

- TSB 2021-524: Intermittent data duplication if direct insert enabled
- If direct insert is enabled, data is written directly to the final location with an
attemptId. At the end of the insert operation, all data written before the final attempt
should be deleted. However due to a bug in HIVE-21164, this does not happen.
Example: Data is written to the final location with attemptId=0, but this task fails. Hive tries the task again and writes data to the final location with attemptId=1. At the end of the insert, Hive should remove all the files with attemptId=0, but it does not.

- TSB 2023-627: IN/OR predicate on binary column returns wrong result
- An IN or an OR predicate involving a binary datatype column may
produce wrong results. The OR predicate is converted to an IN due to the setting
hive.optimize.point.lookupwhich is true by default. Only binary data types are affected by this issue. See https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-26235 for example queries which may be affected. - Upstream JIRA
