In maven, we use "profiles" to allow developers to use either the hadoop-1 or hadoop-2 dependencies when building. When implementing mavenization I used a feature called "active by default" so that hadoop-1 would be active in the case no profiles were activated.
Long story short, it looks like the "active by default" feature is broken or doesn't work the way I expected. When we commit HIVE-5755 ("Fix hadoop2 execution environment Milestone 1") a hadoop profile will be required for all commands. You will have to add either: -Phadoop-1 or -Phadoop-2 to all maven commands. When commit the change I will update this email in addition to the wiki. Thank you, Brock
