Guru, The error message is in your tasktracker log. Go the link pointed by hive when the job fails to find the logs. In your case it was http://xx.xx.xx.xxx:50030/taskdetails.jsp?jobid=job_201009280549_0050&tipid=task_201009280549_0050_r_000000 . This particular link might have expired by now, so rerun your query to reproduce the error.
On a side note, return code 2 is not restricted to any particular error. Quoting the ExecDriver: String statusMesg = "Ended Job = " + rj.getJobID(); if (!success) { statusMesg += " with errors"; * returnVal = 2;* console.printError(statusMesg); showJobFailDebugInfo(job, rj); } Simply put, when the hadoop job fails , the retval is 2. What exactly happened hive doesn't know (in most cases), but hadoop knows and thats where you go and look for it.
