  1. Log in to Cloudera Manager and click Clusters > Hive Metastore > Configuration.
  2. Search for Enable REST Catalog Service and enable it to set up the REST Catalog Service in Hive Metastore.
  3. If you use Cloudera Data Sharing with AWS Elastic MapReduce and AWS Athena notebook, add the region of AWS environment to the Hive Metastore configuration.
    1. Check your region in Cloudera Management Console > Environments > [***YOUR_ENVIRONMENT***] > Environment Details.
    2. If your region is different than the default us-west-2, go to Cloudera Manager > Clusters > Hive Metastore > Configuration > Hive Service Advanced Configuration Snippet (Safety Valve) for hive-site.xml .
    3. Add a property with your region.

      <property><name>client.region</name><value>[***CLIENT_REGION_NAME***]</value></property>
