The error message is this one : FAILED: Execution Error, return code 2 from org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.MapRedTask after a quick search on Google, it appears that this is a Hive bug : https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-4650 Is there a way to pass through this error ? Thanks. NB : my hive script is in the attachment. -- *Jérôme VERDIER* 06.72.19.17.31 verdier.jerom...@gmail.com
