[~mgrover] were you able to reproduce? If not, I think we can close this one. Thanks.

> I was running hive without running the underlying hadoop daemon's running. Hadoop was configured to run in pseudo-distributed mode. However, when I tried to create a hive table, I got this rather misleading error:
> {code}
> FAILED: Error in metadata: java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to instantiate org.apache.hadoop.hive.metastore.HiveMetaStoreClient
> FAILED: Execution Error, return code 1 from org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.DDLTask
> {code}
> We should look into making this error message less misleading (more about hadoop daemons not running instead of metastore client not being instantiable).
