Description
The official setup documentation does not mention that running Hive CLI (even on failure) leads to the creation of a metastore.
Any attempts to initialize the db schema will hence fail due to inconsistent metastore state.
This is mainly due to the fact that the hive CLI command has been given before the init dbschema command and is not preceded with any information regarding metastore creation.
Possible Solution
Keep the schema initialization command before the Hive CLI command, which should resolve any issues faced.
