We have a bunch of sequence files containing keys & values of custom Writable
classes that we wrote, in a HDFS directory.
We manage to view them using Hadoop fs -text. For further ad-hoc analysis, we
tried using Hive. Managed to load them as external tables in Hive, however
running a simple select count() against the table fails with "WritableName
can't load class" in the job output log.
Executing
add jar <path>
does not solve it.
Where do we need to place the jar containing the definition of the writable
classes?
