Ashish Thusoo reassigned HIVE-344:
----------------------------------
Assignee: Amr Awadallah
Thanks for the patch Amr. Like you I am a PC user as well. Will try it out.
Sometime back I do remember seeing some email on the hadoop mailing list that
they are going to deprecate support on cygwin. Don't know if that is true or
not...
Also you should try coLinux (it is a very lightweight linux vm that runs on
windows). I have been able to do all my hive development on the FC7 image with
that.

> 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,
> -- amr
