The HiveQL join syntax I'm using is: SELECT T1.somecolumn, T2.someothercolumn FROM t1 JOIN t2 ON (t1.idfield=t2.idfield) Driver returned: 3. Errors: OK Total MapReduce jobs = 1 setting HADOOP_USER_NAME someuser Execution failed with exit status: 3 Obtaining error information Task failed! Task ID: Stage-4 Logs: FAILED: Execution Error, return code 3 from org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.MapredLocalTask I searched through the logs and couldn't find anything terribly useful, although perhaps I'm missing something. Is this a common error I'm just now coming across? On Hive 0.11 Thanks!
