Thanks for replying, I was Digging into it, and I could fix that. It was happening because Hive has upgraded to Jline2 but jline 0.94 exists in the Hadoop lib. I ended up following these steps (Which I found here <https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/Hive+on+Spark%3A+Getting+Started> ):
Delete jline from the Hadoop lib directory (it's only pulled in transitively from ZooKeeper). export HADOOP_USER_CLASSPATH_FIRST=true and it solved the problem.
