Posting this message again as I did not get a response to the previous: I am getting a hive custom SerDe not found error when I try to describe (or query) hive tables in drill that use a custom SerDe. show tables works ok. Also, any table that does not use custom SerDe, works well. All tables work fine in Hive shell.
I’m trying this in Cloudera Hadoop. Tried this in both CDH VM and an actual CDH cluster (5.2.0) with the same observation. In the VM, it was an embedded configuration, whereas in the cluster it was a distributed one. Tried copying the custom SerDe Jar to jars/3rdparty directory but to no avail. Any help will be appreciated. I do have the SerDe jar in /usr/lib/hive/lib -Ganesh
