Hi Dave,

 

This is usually caused because you have set a bad safety valve for MapReduce or Yarn client enviornment, usually because you installed LZO and made a mistake when the safety valve for MR to pick up the parcel.

 

Here's the docs for using the LZO parcel:

http://www.cloudera.com/content/cloudera-content/cloudera-docs/CM4Ent/4.6.2/Cloudera-Manager-Install...

 

The mistake people often make is forgetting to append to the existing value for HADOOP_CLASSPATH or any other variable. Since Hive uses MR client configs, when it sources haddop-env.sh it will have its classpath overwritten by your MR client env safety valve.

 

So this is bad for client environment safety valves:

HADOOP_CLASSPATH=/my/new/stuff

and this is good:

HADOOP_CLASSPATH=$HADOOP_CLASSPATH:/my/new/stuff

 

Thanks,

Darren
