Re: hive-site.xml not found on classpath

The first element of the classpath is the right one already.. but I STILL
get the hive-site.xml is not found in classpath.  Only hive gives me
issues.  hdfs, mapred, hbase are all running fine.

Re: hive-site.xml not found on classpath

Posted by Stephen Boesch <ja...@gmail.com>.
I ended up patching the HiveConf.java  . If  hive-site.xml were not found
on the classpath then:

   - an   o.a.h.fs.Path object is created from
    System.getenv("HIVE_CONF_DIR") + File.seperator + "hive-site.xml"
   - the Path is sent to the base class Configuration.addResource - whiich
   btw accepts either resourceURL's or Path objects

the problem was resolved  with that change to HiveConf.java:  the
hive-site.xml is loaded properly via the Path (instead of URL)  and as a
consequence the  jdoConnectionURL and related properties for the mysql
metastore are loaded allowing the metadata to be stored in mysql
