I'm sure this is a classpath issue but where? I am getting started with hive 0.13.1. Hadoop 2.4.0 is up and running. I installed hive from a tarball and followed the directions. But when it came time to start:
$HIVE_HOME/hcatalog/sbin/hcat_server.sh start I get a CNFE: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.hadoop.hive.metastore.HiveMetaStore No doubt we have a class path issue here but how to fix? The class in question is in $HIVE_HOME/lib/hive-metastore-0.13.1.jar I have HIVE_HOME and HIVE_CONF_DIR set up. -- There are ways and there are ways, Geoffry Roberts
