Known Issues in Apache Hive
Learn about the known issues in Hive, the impact or changes to the functionality, and the workaround.
- CDPD-14361: Hive compaction on CDP Azure environment does not work in 7.2.9.
- None.
- 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 2021-520: Cleaner causes data loss when processing an aborted dynamic partitioning transaction
- Data loss may occur when an operation that involves dynamic partitioning is aborted in Hive. Cleaner does not know what partition contains the aborted deltas, so it goes over all partitions and removes aborted and `obsolete` deltas below the HighWatermark (highest writeid that could be cleaned up). Those `obsolete` deltas may be `active` ones. There is no easy way to identify obsolete deltas that are active because HighWatermark is defined on a table level.

- 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 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
