Fix the Hive CLI to run on cygwin under windows
-----------------------------------------------
Key: HIVE-344
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-344
Project: Hadoop Hive
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Clients
Reporter: Amr Awadallah
Yes, I am guilty as charged, I don't use mac like the rest of you :)
The Hive CLI currently doesn't work with cygwin under windows, this is due to
the dual path model that cygwin employs (there are file paths relative to the
cygwin virtual root, and file paths relative to the windows root)
Since Sun's JDK is installed under the windows environment, if the paths are
not converted to windows format before being passed along then java will be at
a loss to where the files are. The solution is to use the cygpath command to
convert the paths to windows format before passing along to java world.
I have a fix for this already, still doing some further testing (to make sure
it works under both unix and windows environments), then I will submit patch to
this bug (should submit before end of this week).
Cheers,
