greetings - I am embarking down the hive path, trying to build a simple SerDe based on the example in
org.apache.hadoop.hive.serde2.binarysortable. So, I checked out the code, did "ant -Djavac.debug=on package" , got a nice build/dist area, but when I try to run hive, I get much foo: [...@td dist]$ echo $HADOOP_HOME /home/cgn/src/hadoop-0.20.2 [...@td dist]$ hadoop fs -ls -rw-r--r-- 1 cgn supergroup 26275 2010-07-20 11:58 /user/cgn/testtable.serde [...@td dist]$hive /home/cgn/src/hive_new/build/dist/bin/hive: line 35: [: /home/cgn/src/hive_new/build/dist/lib/hive-exec-0.5.0.jar: binary operator expected /home/cgn/src/hive_new/build/dist/bin/hive: line 40: [: /home/cgn/src/hive_new/build/dist/lib/hive-metastore-0.5.0.jar: binary operator expected /home/cgn/src/hive_new/build/dist/bin/hive: line 46: [: /home/cgn/src/hive_new/build/dist/lib/hive-cli-0.5.0.jar: binary operator expected /home/cgn/src/hive_new/build/dist/bin/ext/util/execHiveCmd.sh: line 6: [: /home/cgn/src/hive_new/build/dist/lib/hive-cli-0.5.0.jar: binary operator expected trying: /home/cgn/src/hadoop-0.20.2/bin/hadoop jar /home/cgn/src/hive_new/build/dist/lib/hive-cli-0.5.0.jar /home/cgn/src/hive_new/build/dist/lib/hive-cli-0.7.0.jar org.apache.hadoop.hive.cli.CliDriver Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: /home/cgn/src/hive_new/build/dist/lib/hive-cli-0/7/0/jar at java.lang.Class.forName0(Native Method) at java.lang.Class.forName(Class.java:247) at org.apache.hadoop.util.RunJar.main(RunJar.java:149) [...@td dist]$ does this look vaguely familiar to anyone...? comments/suggestions/"RTFMs" welcomed. thanks!
