I case anyone else runs into this.

I ended up deleting the hbase dir on hdfs installing hbase-0.90.1 and copying and pasting the hbase configs in the hive-site.xml Rebuild hive by setting hbase.version to 0.90.1 on "ivy/libraries.properties" Then the cli started working but the service still wasn't working so I suddenly realized jobs started with the service probably didn't have access to the jars so I run:
add jar /opt/hive/lib/hive-hbase-handler-0.8.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
add jar /opt/hive/lib/hbase-0.90.1-SNAPSHOT.jar
add jar /opt/hive/lib/zookeeper-3.3.1.jar

And then it all started working. This wasn't really evident from the documentation but in hindsight makes sense. This took a lot more time to figure out then I'm willing to admit ;-)

Hi,

I am also facing the same issue (hive-0.7, hbase-0.90.1, hadoop-0.20.2).

Any help?

Hi All,

I was trying out hbase 0.89.20100924 with hive trunk with hadoop 0.20.2

When I'm running a simple insert I get this:

insert overwrite table hbase_table_1 select cldr_id, iso_date from calendar;

I could create the table just fine. like :
CREATE TABLE hbase_table_1(key int, value string)
STORED BY 'org.apache.hadoop.hive.hbase.HBaseStorageHandler'
WITH SERDEPROPERTIES ("hbase.columns.mapping" = ":key,cf1:val")
TBLPROPERTIES ("hbase.table.name" = "xyz");

I've set the properties hbase.master, hbase.zookeeper.quorum, hbase.zookeeper.property.clientPort should that be enough?

Thanks
Bennie.
