Which Ant target were you running when you encountered this error? Also, what happens if you pass the '-nouserlib' argument to Ant? I think the hive > thrift server not starting is. Many people use that. > I agree. It looks like the problem you're running into with hiveserver is a result of the wrong version of thrift appearing first on the classpath. Can you please run the following command to dump the classpath and report back with the results? % hive -e 'set system:java.class.path' Thanks. Carl
