Hi jean-Daniel Ok I'll sent it in the env thanks for the advice. Are their other libs I might need to add? Could just tell hive to use it's lib directory or hbase's lib directory in it's classpath in some way? I could just set it in the bashrc but that's not very elegant.
Another thing I am testing my 3 machine hadoop cluster. I have queried 'select * from myTestTable' which has 1719428 entries. The 7 map tasks and 1 reducer took almost 5 minutes to compute, I am right to think it is a little slow? How could I make this go faster, more map tasks, more nodes? True I would never scan a whole table usually but I could easily have queries that MR over a set of this size.
