Create Table in Hive always throwing the error

When trying to create table in Hive I am always getting the following error always.

Not able to do any hive DDL operations,



FAILED: Error in metadata: MetaException(message:java.lang.RuntimeException: commitTransaction was called but openTransactionCalls = 0. This probably indicates that there are unbalanced calls to openTransaction/commitTransaction)

FAILED: Execution Error, return code 1 from org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.DDLTask



Can anyone help or give any idea on the reason for this failure always.



I have looked into the similar issue reported on Hive https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-4996 but this is looks like observed intermittently and not always.





Regards
