If you add these settings (paths are up to you), you can run Hive with Tez in local mode. You'll also need to make sure your classpath has the Tez libs etc.
set hive.user.install.directory=file:///tmp; set fs.default.name=file:///; set fs.defaultFS=file:///; set tez.staging-dir=/tmp; set tez.ignore.lib.uris=true; set tez.runtime.optimize.local.fetch=true; set tez.local.mode=true; set hive.execution.engine=tez;? ? ________________________________ From: Raajay <raaja...@gmail.com> Sent: Friday, August 07, 2015 1:06 PM To: user@hive.apache.org Subject: Running hive on tez locally I have been running Hive queries on a single node (no HDFS). I realize that the queries get compiled as map-reduce jobs and not as TEZ jobs even though "hive.execution.engine=tez" is set. Is that expected ? If yes, what is the ideal environment for debugging hive on tez? Raajay
