Passing hive configuration with aws emr cli
<p>I am following doc: <a href="http://docs.aws.amazon.com/ElasticMapReduce/latest/ReleaseGuide/emr-dev-create-metastore-outside.html" rel="nofollow">http://docs.aws.amazon.com/ElasticMapReduce/latest/ReleaseGuide/emr-dev-create-metastore-outside.html</a>  and trying to create emr cluster using the <strong>awscli==1.10.38</strong> . </p>

<p>I use the following command as mentioned in the documentation:</p>

<pre><code>aws emr create-cluster --release-label emr-5.0.0 --instance-type m3.xlarge --instance-count 2 \
--applications Name=Hive --configurations ./hiveConfiguration.json --use-default-roles
</code></pre>

<p>I am also using the exact same hiveConfiguration.json as mentioned in the document.</p>

<p>but it says <strong>"aws: error: invalid json argument for option --configurations"</strong></p>

<p>Why do I get the error?</p>
