how to add jar files through hive view on ambari

avatar

hello all

I am very new to hadoop and I wanted to add a couple of jar files to be able to perform my queries

I tried using add jars and the path of the jars like I do in the terminal but I get an error

add jar /tmp/udfs/esri-geometry-api.jar /tmp/udfs/spatial-sdk-hadoop.jar;

Error while compiling statement: FAILED: ParseException line 4:0 cannot recognize input near 'add' 'jar' '/' [ERROR_STATUS]

since I am a newbie i dont exactly know how to add them since the path where the jars are located is right, and I am able to do that successfully on the terminal throught he back end.

Kindly if someone could elaborately explain me how to add these jar files, i would be eternally grateful

Add semicolon at the end and make sure that your ambari user is mapped to an OS user that has access to the path

add jar /tmp/udfs/esri-geometry-api.jar;

add jar /tmp/udfs/spatial-sdk-hadoop.jar;

My suggestion is to place these libraries in HDFS with your Ambari user that has hdfs priviles. Such you can have access to the libraries from any node with hive client.

Example:

add jar hdfs://whateverhostname:8020/tmp/esri/esri-geometry-api.jar;

ok, then you can also put these required jars inside hive.aux.jars.path through ambari hive conf, jars will get picked automatically.

Hi jitendra,

So i set this property on custom hive-server2 as hive.aux.jars.path and the path right??

and do i have to set 2 different properties for both the jars or use a ',' to seperate both the jars in a single property?

mkdir /usr/hdp/current/hive-server2/auxlib/ on HS2 node.

copy required jars to /usr/hdp/current/hive-server2/auxlib/ loaction.

Added below property into custom hive-server2 and restart the all affected services. And see if that help.

<property>
  <name>hive.aux.jars.path</name>
  <value>/usr/hdp/current/hive-server2/auxlib/</value>
</property>

Looks like it still didn't picked the jar file, lets try another approach.

In hive-env.sh file through Ambari.

export HIVE_AUX_JARS_PATH=<jar1 file path>,<jar2 file path>

And restart the services.

"# Folder containing extra libraries required for hive compilation/execution can be controlled by:
