Are there any good documents on this? - Its easy to run hive in totally local JDBC with the 1.2 tarball, but its almost impossible it seems to run it with the 2.x hadoop tarballs.
It seems like its heavily dependent on the JobConf class, which is a mapred* class, not in hadoop-common anymore. Im finding that there are references to JobConf in stack traces, even when i use the right hadoop 2x JDBC drivers. So, i find its pretty easy to run using hive drivers with hadoop 1x, but not with 2x tarballs in local mode. -- Jay Vyas http://jayunit100.blogspot.com
