If properly done, "add jar <jar-file>" should work the same as passing the jar with --auxpath. Can you run "list jars;" command from CLI or Hue and check if you see the jar file.
From: java8...@hotmail.com To: user@hive.apache.org Subject: difference between add jar in hive session and hive --auxpath Date: Thu, 7 Mar 2013 17:47:26 -0500 Hi, I have a hive table which uses the jar file provided from the elephant-bird, which is a framework integrated between lzo and google protobuf data and hadoop/hive. If I use the hive command like this: hive --auxpath path_to_jars, it works fine to query my table, but if I use the add jar after I started the hive session, I will get ClassNotFoundException in the runtime of my query of the classes in those jars. My questions are: 1) What is the different between hive --auxpath and "add jar" in the hive session?2) This problem makes it is hard to access my table in the HUE, as it only supports "add jar", but not --auxpath option. Any suggestions? Thanks Yong
