Hive command is giving error

Question

I have downloaded neccessary jar files. I have also changed .bashrc configurations and have added CLASSPATH in hadoop-env.sh. Still it is giving below error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: jline/ArgumentCompletor$ArgumentDelimiter

Answer 1

The missing class in the exception is part of the jline-<version>.jar. And this jar is included by default under the $HIVE_HOME/lib directory.

Check if you are missing this jar in Hive's CLASSPATH. If yes, you can download one from here and add it to the lib/ path of Hive.
