title: hive shell not opening when I have hive-site.xml
body: <p>I have installed ubuntu 14 and hadoop 2.6.0 and Hive 0.14.0 in my VM player.
  In my Hive/conf there is no Hive-site.xml, so I created a new file.
  But I have getting error when I open Hive shell. If I delete the hive-site.xml file, I can  open the shell. Why is this? what should I do?
  The Hive error is as follows:</p>
