You need to point to the exact jar file location and not just the directory location.

I did export HIVE_AUX_JARS_PATH to point to the correct dir containing the jars and then ran hive . My custom class doesnt seem to be available when I create a table using these classes . I get a class not found error . What am I missing here ? Sam William [email protected]
