Hi all,

I installed hadoop-0.21.0 and hive-0.5.0-bin and it is giving me following
error when trying to run hive CLI

Is there anything wrong that I am doing?

[u...@machine bin]$ ./hive

Is this compatibility issue? I followed all the directions of installing
HIVE.

Any help is really appreciated, as I am unable to proceed further.

Thanks,
Harshad
