Hi all, I am using Hive 0.7.1 over Cloudera's Hadoop distribution 0.20.2 and MapR hdfs distribution 1.1.1. I wrote a GenericUDF packaged as a Jar that attempts to open a local resource during its initialization at initialize(ObjectInspector[] arguments) command.
When I run with the CLI, everything is fine. When I run using Cloudera's Hive-JDBC driver, The UDF fails with null pointer returned from the command this.getResourceAsStream(filename). Removing the line fixed the problem and the UDF ran on both CLI and Jdbc, so I believe that "ADD JAR" and "CREATE TEMPORARY FUNCTION" were entered correctly. Did anyone observe such a behavior? I have a demo Jar to reproduce the problem if needed. Thanks, Maoz
