How create a kudu table in cloudera quickstart VM - cloudera

Question

I have been trying to create a kudu table in impala using the cloudera quickstart VM following this example
https://kudu.apache.org/docs/quickstart.html
CREATE TABLE sfmta
PRIMARY KEY (report_time, vehicle_tag)
PARTITION BY HASH(report_time) PARTITIONS 8
STORED AS KUDU
AS SELECT
UNIX_TIMESTAMP(report_time, 'MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss') AS report_time,
vehicle_tag,
longitude,
latitude,
speed,
heading
FROM sfmta_raw;
getting the following error:
ERROR: AnalysisException: Table property 'kudu.master_addresses' is required when the impalad startup flag -kudu_master_hosts is not used. The VM used is cloudera-quickstart-vm-5.13.0-0-virtualbox. Thanks in advance for your help

Answer 1

From the documentation
If the -kudu_master_hosts configuration property is not set, you can
still associate the appropriate value for each table by specifying a
TBLPROPERTIES('kudu.master_addresses') clause in the CREATE TABLE
statement or changing the TBLPROPERTIES('kudu.master_addresses') value
with an ALTER TABLE statement.
So your table creation should looks like
CREATE TABLE sfmta
PRIMARY KEY (report_time, vehicle_tag)
PARTITION BY HASH(report_time) PARTITIONS 8
STORED AS KUDU
TBLPROPERTIES ('kudu.master_addresses'='localhost:7051')
AS SELECT
UNIX_TIMESTAMP(report_time, 'MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss') AS report_time,
vehicle_tag,
longitude,
latitude,
speed,
heading
FROM sfmta_raw;
7051 is the default port for kudu master.
