Deleting a Apache Hive™ Metastore cluster

Written by
Yandex Cloud
Updated at October 15, 2025

You can delete a Apache Hive™ Metastore cluster along with its stored data. Before that, disable cluster deletion protection if enabled.

Management console
CLI
REST API
gRPC API
  1. Navigate to the folder dashboard and select Yandex MetaData Hub.
  2. In the left-hand panel, select Metastore.
  3. Click for the cluster and select Delete.
  4. Confirm cluster deletion.

If you do not have the Yandex Cloud CLI installed yet, install and initialize it.

By default, the CLI uses the folder specified when creating the profile. To change the default folder, use the yc config set folder-id <folder_ID> command. You can also set a different folder for any specific command using the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.

To delete a Apache Hive™ Metastore cluster, run this command:

yc managed-metastore cluster delete <cluster_name_or_ID>

You can get the cluster ID and name with the list of clusters in the folder.

  1. Get an IAM token for API authentication and save it as an environment variable:

    export IAM_TOKEN="<IAM_token>"
    
  2. Use the Cluster.Delete method and send the following request, e.g., via cURL:

    curl \
        --request DELETE \
        --header "Authorization: Bearer $IAM_TOKEN" \
        --url 'https://metastore.api.cloud.yandex.net/managed-metastore/v1/clusters/<cluster_ID>'
    

    You can get the cluster ID with the list of clusters in the folder.

  3. View the server response to make sure your request was successful.

  1. Get an IAM token for API authentication and save it as an environment variable:

    export IAM_TOKEN="<IAM_token>"
    
  2. Clone the cloudapi repository:

    cd ~/ && git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/yandex-cloud/cloudapi
    

    Below, we assume the repository contents are stored in the ~/cloudapi/ directory.

  3. Use the ClusterService.Delete call and send the following request, e.g., via gRPCurl:

    grpcurl \
        -format json \
        -import-path ~/cloudapi/ \
        -import-path ~/cloudapi/third_party/googleapis/ \
        -proto ~/cloudapi/yandex/cloud/metastore/v1/cluster_service.proto \
        -rpc-header "Authorization: Bearer $IAM_TOKEN" \
        -d '{
                "cluster_id": "<cluster_ID>"
            }' \
        metastore.api.cloud.yandex.net:443 \
        yandex.cloud.metastore.v1.ClusterService.Delete
    

    You can get the cluster ID with the list of clusters in the folder.

  4. View the server response to make sure your request was successful.
