Aaron Kimball commented on HIVE-145:
------------------------------------

Missing the fact that you must create /tmp and /user/hive/warehouse (aka 
hive.metastore.warehouse.dir) and set them chmod g+w in HDFS before you can 
create a table. (I run Hadoop as user 'hadoop', and then attach with my own 
username as a client)

Other than that, it seems to work with Hadoop 0.18.2
Thanks!

> The Getting Started instructions at 
> http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/Hive/GettingStarted are incorrect. They claim 
> that you should download a "dist-17.tar.gz" file from a Facebook mirror. This 
> link is 404, and Facebook does not seem to maintain a publicly available Hive 
> package at any other location I can find. Thus, the wiki should be updated to 
> instruct users to checkout/export files from SVN. (This page is locked, so I 
> can't change it myself)
