Test Error building hive

[Colm McHugh <co...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I am compiling hive from source per the getting started guide (
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/GettingStarted#GettingStarted-CompileHiveonmaster)
and keep hitting a failure in testing the Hive Query Language module. The
output is reproduced below. I am building on mac os x (yosemite), using
java 1.8.0_65 and mvn 3.3.3. The exception - java.lang.ClassFormatError -
usually means an implementation is missing or there are conflicting
implementations. I could skip the tests, but I'd really like to build with
the tests passing in my environment. Is this known behavior with this test?
Is there something I need to do to get the tests to work in this
environment? (Mac os x, java 1.8, maven 3.3.3). I do not have the CLASSPATH
environment variable set, is that necessary? It's not mentioned in the
getting starting guide. Any help appreciated.

Build command:
$ mvn clean package -Pdist
Build output:
