Hi Mark
     What does your Map reduce job logs say? Try figuring out the error form 
there. From hive CLI you could hardly find out the root cause of your errors. 
From job tracker web UI < http://hostname:50030/jobtracker.jsp> you can easily 
browse to failed tasks and get the actual exception from there. If you are not 
able to figure out from there then please post in those logs with your table 
schema.

Subject: Hive query failing on group by

HI,

I am trying to figure out what I am doing wrong with this query and the
unusual error I am getting. Also suspicious is the reduce % going up and
down.

select trans.property_id, day(trans.log_timestamp) from trans JOIN opts on
trans.ext_booking_id["ext_booking_id"] = opts.ext_booking_id group by
day(trans.log_timestamp), trans.property_id;
