Hi Sarita, The command you quoted looks good and should work. I just tried checking out the source using the same command and had no problems, so it's possible that there was some kind of temporary issue with the Apache subversion server.
Another option you may want to consider is using git instead of svn. The ASF operates git mirrors for many of the ASF projects including Hive. You can checkout a copy of the Hive source from the git mirror using the following command: % git clone git://git.apache.org/hive.git hive If you get connection errors with this command you can try accessing the github mirror instead: % git clone git://github.com/apache/hive.git hive Hope this helps.
