Answer 1

Have you started the metastore? Your metastore must be up and running before running the queries on hive.
run the below command to create the metastore db
schematool -dbType derby -initSchema
then start the metastore
hive --service metastore &

Answer 2

I got the same error, it is just because of two SLF4j are running but java uses only a single mandatory dependency so you just need to delete on of this file.
I delete this from my hive and it just worked.
All you have to do is, delete this file
log4j-slf4j-impl-2.6.2.jar!
from
/home/user1/apache-hive-2.3.2-bin/lib/
and you are good to go.
