Cannot get hive working templeton

[Peter Marron <Pe...@trilliumsoftware.com>]

Hi,

I am using Hive 0.11.0 over Hadoop 1.0.4.
Recently I have started investigating the user of Templeton and I have managed to get
most of the services working. Specifically I can access resources like these:

http://hpcluster1:50111/templeton/v1/version
http://hpcluster1:50111/templeton/v1/status
http://hpcluster1:50111/templeton/v1/ddl/database
http://hpcluster1:50111/templeton/v1/queue
http://hpcluster1:50111/templeton/v1/mapreduce/jar

and everything works. Very satisfying. However whenever I try to access the resources like this:

curl -s -d user.name=pmarron -d execute="show tables;"  http://hpcluster1:50111/templeton/v1/hive

It creates a job, but the job always fails. When I look at the logs I see this error:

templeton: starting [hive-0.10.0.tar.gz/hive-0.10.0/bin/hive, --service, cli, --hiveconf, mapreduce.job.credentials.binary=/home/hadoop/local/taskTracker/pmarron/jobcache/job_201307161533_0194/jobToken, --hiveconf, hive.metastore.local=false, --hiveconf, hive.metastore.uris=thrift://localhost:10000, --hiveconf, hive.metastore.sasl.enabled=false, -e, show tables;]

However if I execute the command from the debug logs it works:

I suspect that this is a configuration error, but I've found all the ones that I can and fixed them.
Anyone have any suggestions for things that I need to check to get this to work?

Thanks.
