Failed to launch hive

Question

I installed hadoop and hive on a Mac OS. I am able to launch hadoop and yarn without any problem. I can run hadoop fs related commands to operate files on hdfs. But I failed to launch hive process and got below error.

$ hive

SLF4J: Found binding in [jar:file:/usr/local/Cellar/hive/2.1.0/libexec/lib/log4j-slf4j-impl-2.4.1.jar!/org/slf4j/impl/StaticLoggerBinder.class]

You can try adding this at the top of your hive-site.xml

<property>
    <name>system:java.io.tmpdir</name>
    <value>/tmp/hive/java</value>
</property>

Or changing the directory to some /tmp/mydir as its told in Configuring Hive
