Whew, sorry for all the spam, maybe this can help other users but apparently I had to put HIVE on the HADOOP_CLASSPATH and continue adding the jars. Instead all I did was
Add the following to the $HADOOP_HOME/conf/Hadoop_env.sh "export HADOOP_CLASSPATH=$HIVE_HOME/lib/*" That started hive shell successfully and I can do any kind of DDL so far. Thank you all.
