Can you provide some details on what command you executed to generate this error?

I also have similar error. When I try to run hive interactive shell, I get this:

$ hive

This error occurs after vagrant reload.

It seems, you have to pay the most attention on the MetaException:

...
Caused by: MetaException(message:Could not connect to meta store using any of the URIs provided. Most recent failure: org.apache.thrift.transport.TTransportException: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused
...

Here is my full history of commands, which I have performed on virtual machine:

yum -y update
yum install centos-release-SCL
yum install python27
scl enable python27 bash
yum groupinstall -y "development tools"
yum install -y zlib-devel bzip2-devel openssl-devel xz-libs wget
yum groupinstall "X Window System"
tar -xzvf ideaIC-15.0.3.tar.gz
tar -xzvf pycharm-community-5.0.3.tar.gz
sudo mv idea-IC-143.1821.5/ /opt/
sudo mv pycharm-community-5.0.3/ /opt/
sudo su -c "ln -s /opt/pycharm-community-5.0.3/bin/pycharm.sh /usr/local/bin/pycharm"
sudo su -c "ln -s /opt/pycharm-community-5.0.3/bin/inspect.sh /usr/local/bin/inspect-pycharm"
sudo su -c "ln -s /opt/idea-IC-143.1821.5/bin/idea.sh /usr/local/bin/idea"
sudo su -c "ln -s /opt/idea-IC-143.1821.5/bin/inspect.sh /usr/local/bin/inspect-idea"

(IDEA and PyCharm was moved from physical machine using Vadrant scp plugin)

I also can't connect to any of the GUIs (Namenode, JobHistory etc.). Obviously, that this problem is related to Hive MetaException.

None of the Hadoop/Spark/Hive services are configured to start when the system restarts, so what I'm guessing is happening is that you're trying to use the system after a restart. I'll work on adding this to the image, but in the meantime you should be able to manually start things up yourself, I've added instructions here:
