Quick update: Ed and I chatted on IRC and determined that HiveServer problem was a result of some thrift-0.5.0 JARs that he copied onto his classpath. Also, the build failure was resolved by using Ant 1.8.2 and setting ANT_HOME.
As for the configuration problems mentioned by Jakob and Ashutosh, it looks like these are resolved by the patch for HIVE-2643. I will cut another RC after this gets committed/backported. Thanks.
