Hi Hive users :-)
Does anybody have experience of using Hive with MS SQL Server 2005? I’m currently stumped with the following issue https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1391 where Hive (or DataNucleus?) confuses the COLUMNS table it requires internally with that of the default SQL Server sys.COLUMNS or information_schema.COLUMNS View and therefore does not automatically create the required metadata table when running the Hive CLI. Has anybody managed to get Hive to work with SQLServer 2005 or know how I can configure Hive to use a different table name to COLUMNS ? Unfortunately we have to use SQL Server and do not have the option to use Derby or MySQL etc. Many thanks, Andy.
