Hi : I posted this once before but it was a little confusing how i worded it.
To distill my question: Ive found that the SemanticAnalyzer doesnt a token, but im not sure why (the token appears to be valid according to the case statement which precedes the SemanticAnalyzer exception throwing clause). By adding some debugging print statements to the exception, I confirmed that the token is actually valid. Any thoughts on this stacktrace? Ive seen similar questions and also similar hacking of the error message to be more informative here : https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HCATALOG-544regarding. 2013-06-05 21:55:12,321 WARN conf.HiveConf (HiveConf.java:(82)) - hive-site.xml not found on CLASSPATH 2013-06-05 21:55:14,521 ERROR ql.Driver (SessionState.java:printError(401)) - FAILED: SemanticException Operation not supported.
