cannot create temporary udf dynamically, with a ClassNotFoundException -----------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HIVE-322 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-322 Project: Hadoop Hive Issue Type: Bug Components: Query Processor Affects Versions: 0.3.0 Reporter: Min Zhou Priority: Blocker CREATE TEMPORARY FUNCTION strlen AS 'com.taobao.hadoop.hive.udf.UdfStringLength' I found the ClassLoader cannot load my UDF when doing FunctionTask, because the ClassLoader hasnot append its classpaths on-the-fly yet. The ExecDriver' s addToClassPath(String[] newPaths) method is the only entry for ClassLoader dynamically append its classhpaths (besides hadoop's GenericOptionsParser). But that function wasnot called before FunctionTask getting my UDF class by class name. I think this is the reason why I came across that failure. scenario description: I set a peroperty in hive-site.xml to configure the classpath of my udf. <property> <name>hive.aux.jars.path</name> <value>/home/hadoop/hdpsoft/hive-auxs/zhoumin.jar</value> </property> but failed to register it with a ClassNotFoundException when creating udf through the sql command. I'll patch that soon. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
