Hi Pavel The issue is some how your hive client is pointing to lfs rather than hdfs. There could be two possible reasons for this, first one amd the most likeliest one is that your hdfs 'fs.default.name' points to file:/// instead of hdfs:// . In default the value of this property is 'file:///' you need to override this property in core-site.xml.
Second possibility is less likely, it can happen if you have overridden the value of hive.metastore.warehouse.dir in your hive-site.xml and the value is prefixed with 'file:///' Regards Bejoy KS ________________________________ From: "kulkarni.swar...@gmail.com" <kulkarni.swar...@gmail.com> To: "user@hive.apache.org" <user@hive.apache.org> Cc: "user@hive.apache.org" <user@hive.apache.org> Sent: Sunday, June 3, 2012 8:20 PM Subject: Re: FileNotFoundException Did you setup the /usr/hive/warehouse directory in hdfs and do a chmod g+w on it? That would be required before you run any queries.
