I use hive client through php, it always works quite well, but recently it sometimes throw a weird exception :
[28-Nov-2010 05:01:04] PHP Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'HiveServerException' with message 'Query returned non-zero code: 9, cause: FAILED: Execution Error, return code 1 from org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.ExecDriver' in /data0/phphiveapi/packages/hive_service/ThriftHive.php:570 I go through the codes of ThriftHive.php, but I don't know why it throws HiveServerException ? hadoop seems to work well, as it didn't deal with it as a failed job, but hive can't return the correct result. 2010-11-29 shangan
