okay. so SEQUENCE_TABLE does indeed exist. that's the first thing to get out of the way then. hmm.
I suspect these other tables are just artifacts from the differences in the hive versions. yeah, i'm not sure where to go from here and I couldn't find much via googling either. would it be possible to install hive v0.12? I can at least vouch for that version. (i'm using postgres v9.1 however.) Otherwise, we'll have to wait for someone else to chase this bugger down - which may not be a bad thing. :) On Thu, Jan 16, 2014 at 7:54 PM, Leena Gupta <gupta.le...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thanks for responding Stephen. > I checked the tables in Postgres and the SEQUENCE_TABLE exists.
