Amr Awadallah commented on HIVE-344:
------------------------------------
unfortunately HIVE_LIB is checked for validity inside these files using normal
bash commands, so the cygpath translation for HIVE_LIB has to be done this late
as opposed to in the main hive script (otherwise the verification in
sub-scripts would fail).

> Yes, I am guilty as charged, I don't use mac like the rest of you :)
> The Hive CLI currently doesn't work with cygwin under windows, this is due to
> the dual path model that cygwin employs (there are file paths relative to the
> cygwin virtual root, and file paths relative to the windows root)
> Since Sun's JDK is installed under the windows environment, if the paths are
> not converted to windows format before being passed along then java will be
> at a loss to where the files are. The solution is to use the cygpath command
> to convert the paths to windows format before passing along to java world.
> I have a fix for this already, still doing some further testing (to make sure
> it works under both unix and windows environments), then I will submit patch
> to this bug (should submit before end of this week).
> Cheers,
> -- amr
