Did you restart the hive server after modifying the hive-site.xml settings? I think you need to restart the server to pick up the latest settings in the config file.

But if i add it as a configuration variable in the hive-site.xml file and try to register the function using "create temporary function <functionname> as 'funciton' ", it cannot find the jar. Any idea whats going on here? Here is the snippet from hive-site.xml: ~/Documents/workspace/Hive_0_7_1/build/dist/conf$grep aux hive-site.xml <property><name>hive.aux.jars.path</name><value>/Users/amsharma/dev/Perforce/development/depot/dataeng/hive/dist</value></property> Amit
