I think this is still an outstanding issue. Couple of (still open) Jiras relating to solutions for this:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-9252? https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-6343 ________________________________ From: Andy Srine <andy.sr...@gmail.com> Sent: Wednesday, December 09, 2015 1:33 AM To: user@hive.apache.org Subject: Metastore and SerDe jars Team, I know I can do a "ADD JAR" on the Hive CLI to use SerDe and UDF jars. If I am using the metastore thrift API, is there a way to add/register SerDe jars via the API? Basically, whats the metastore API equivalent of CLI's "ADD JAR "? I tried setting the hive.aux.jars.path property in the hive-site.xml to a HDFS path with the SerDe jars and restarted the metastore.. But it doesn't seem to work. Thanks, Andy
