默认情况下，hive的元数据信息存储在内置的Derby数据中。Facebook将hive元数据存储在关系数据库
1、安装好mysql ，sudo apt-get install mysql-server
2、创建mysql用户hadoop
$ mysql -u root -p
进入root用户
mysql> CREATE USER ‘hadoop‘@‘localhost‘ IDENTIFIED
BY ‘hadoop‘;
3、授权：mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO‘hadoop‘@‘localhost‘ WITH GRANT OPTION;
4、登录到hadoop
用户 $ mysql -u hadoop -p
5、创建数据库hive
mysql>create database hive;
6、修改hive中hive-site.xml
<property>

7、将mysql jdbc driver拷贝到hive的lib下
8、测试：
hive> create table tmp(info int);
OK
Time taken: 0.66
seconds
hive> show tables;
OK
tmp
Time taken: 0.138
