NoClassDefFoundError caused by ClassNotFoundException in Hadoop on Hive Driver Connection line?

StackOverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20892921

Question

Typically I start by Googling for a solution, but this error does not seem to have occurred before. 

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/hadoop/util/Shell

The following code causes this error, specifically on the Connection declaration line:

try {     
Class.forName(driverName);
     Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:hive2://localhost:10000/default", "hive", "");
     Statement statement = connection.createStatement();
} catch (ClassNotFoundException exception) {
      exception.printStackTrace();
}

Other questions seem to point to this being related to not including hadoop-core in the dependencies, but hadoop-core does not seem to exist in the Hadoop 2.X. I am specifically working in Hadoop 2.1.0.2.0.5.0-67 with Hive 0.12.0. Before this error I was having issues bc my Hive dependencies had gotten destroyed at some point, but I put those back in and this error happened next. I'm wondering if it's not something as simple as forgetting a dependency, but I'm not finding which dependency I might be missing.

Any help with this is greatly appreciated.

Solution 

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.hadoop.util.Shell

As you are using Hadoop 2.X. you need to download hadoop-common-2.1.0-beta.jar OR
hadoop-common-2.0.0-cdh4.4.0.jar and to class path to avoid ClassNotFoundException.

You are right earlier hadoop-core-0.20.2-737.jar was used.

OTHER TIPS

Try copying the JDBC connector jar into the $HIVE_HOME/lib/ folder. I faced a similar issue and copying the jar file worked for me.
