Thanks Ashish, that was helpful. Keshav From: Ashish Thusoo [mailto:athu...@qubole.com] Sent: Wednesday, April 25, 2012 6:37 PM To: user@hive.apache.org Subject: Re: Hive on Standalone Machine
Hive needs the hadoop jars to talk to hadoop. The machine that it is installed on has to have those jars installed. However, it does not need to be a "part" of the hadoop cluster in the sense that it does not need to have a TaskTracker or DataNode running. The machine can operate purely as a client to the hadoop cluster but it needs the hadoop jars to talk to the hadoop cluster. Hope that helps...
