Hi all, We use postgres as a metastore for Hive and haven't come across any problems. The postgres driver jar is: postgresql-8.4.701-jdbc.jar. We use the version of hive that comes out of Cloudera's CDH3b2, which I believe is some variant of Hive 0.5.0.
Java: HotSpot 1.6.0_20 OS: Ubuntu Lucid (10.04) Postgres: 8.4.4 Postgres JDBC driver: postgresql-8.4.701-jdbc.jar Hadoop: 0.20.2+320 (Cloudera CDH3b2) Hive: 0.5.0+20 (Cloudera CDH3b2) Thanks, Jamie On 17 January 2011 13:13, Edward Capriolo <edlinuxg...@gmail.com> wrote: > You are the first person I have heard of using postgres.
