Hello Brock and Jarcec, Thank you very much for your answer!
Brock, thanks for the link. It was very helpful. Jarcec, yes I agree that Hadoop itself still has some problems with non-Sun Java as well. Nevertheless, I believe there are some people working to improve that, and hopefully, soon Hive and Hadoop will run with all JVMs. :) I have started contributing with some patches: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-3989 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-3691 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-3812 Thanks, Renata.
