I assume  you need to set HIVE_AUX_JARS_PATH  to the jars that contain  custom Input/OutputFormats/Serdes..  

I did export HIVE_AUX_JARS_PATH to point to the correct dir containing the jars and then ran hive .    My custom class doesnt seem to be available when I  create a table using these classes . I get a class not found error .  What am I missing here ?

You need to point to the exact jar file location and not just the directory location.

Please ignore my mail.  Seems like the site specific  hive-env.sh was overriding the env variable ..Its working now .

Thanks,
