Hive Installation Error - java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: type

["Katukuri, Jay" <jk...@ebay.com>]

Hello ,

On our cluster (using redhat enterprise 5), we have hadoop 0.18.3 installed.

When I do "show tables" on hive prompt, I get the following error

java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: type

I am getting this error for both binaries "hive_0.5.0" and "hive _0.4.1"

I have also built hive from source . I got the source code from http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/hadoop/hive/trunk

I get the same error while using hive script from hive built from source.

I have tried different versions of "antlr_runtime jars" by placing them into the lib folder for both binaries and hive built from source.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Jay
