Hive JDBC connection on AWS

[#1]

Hi, 

I have set up a four node CDH cluster using the following instructions(http://blog.cloudera.com/blog/2013/03/how-to-create-a-cdh-cluster-on-amazon-ec2-via-cloudera-manager...   Everything seems to be up and running, but I having difficulty connecting to the cluster's hive instance using JDBC.    I have verified the following

• Hive is up and running
• Port 10000 has been added to my security group

I am trying to connect to hive from another AWS instance using the public interface(I am running Jaspersoft on this instance).

Here is my connection string(ip specifics Xed out): jdbc:hive://ec2-xx-xx-x-xx.compute-1.amazonaws.com:10000/default

When I try to use this I am getting a connection refused message on the client side, and I am not seeing anything help in any of the server side messages.   

Does anyone have any ideas? 

Thanks

In case anyone else runs into this issue.  The problem was that the Thrift server wasn't running.   Once we started that on our target system(hive --service hiveserver )    We were able to connect via JDBC.
