Hi all,

I'm using the hive json serde and need to run: "ADD JAR
/usr/lib/hive/lib/hive-json-serde-0.2.jar;", before I can use tables that
require it.

Is it possible to have this jar available automatically?

I could do it via adding the statement to a .hiverc file, but I was
wondering if there is some better way...

Cheers,

Krishna

If you look into ${HIVE_HOME}/bin/hive script there are multiple ways to
add the jar.  One of my favorite, besides the .hiverc file, has been to put
the jar into ${HIVE_HOME}/auxlib dir.  There always is the
HIVE_AUX_JARS_PATH environment variable (but this introduces a dependency
on the environment).

Ah great, the auxlib dir option sounds perfect.

Cheers
