Solution:

For systems in hdp cluster with no internet access local-repo folder doesnt get created when running zeppelin interpreters which hold the jar files needed for the interpreters.

To circumvent this we would need to copy the following jars to a temporary location and then specify these in the interpreter setting from zeppelin UI

create and copy all required jars to following "/usr/hdp/current/zeppelin-server/jarss/" /usr/hdp/current/zeppelin-server/jarss/hive-jdbc-2.0.1-standalone.jar   /usr/hdp/current/zeppelin-server/jarss/hadoop-common-2.7.3.2.5.0.0-1245.jar   /usr/hdp/current/zeppelin-server/jarss/hive-shims-0.23-2.1.0.2.5.0.0-1245.jar   /usr/hdp/current/zeppelin-server/jarss/commons-configuration-1.10.jar   /usr/hdp/current/zeppelin-server/jarss/hadoop-auth-2.7.3.2.5.0.0-1245.jar   /usr/hdp/current/zeppelin-server/jarss/curator-client-2.7.1.jar   /usr/hdp/current/zeppelin-server/jarss/curator-framework-2.7.1.jar   /usr/hdp/current/zeppelin-server/jarss/zookeeper-3.4.6.2.5.0.0-1245.jar   /usr/hdp/current/zeppelin-server/jarss/commons-lang3-3.3.2.jar

Specify the complete path to the jar under Zeppelin UI --> Interpreter --> Jdbc

[#2]

/usr/hdp/current/zeppelin-server/jarss/ is the temporary location these jars are copied to? Then this path needs to be specified in Zeppelin UI --> Interpreter --> Jdbc --> zeppelin.interpreter.localRepo?
