Hi all,

 I have taken the generic udtf method in the contrib. examples directory
and modified it and added it as a jar in my classpath.

hive> add jar /homes/viraj/hiveudfs.jar;

 

hive> create temporary function GenIndex as 'hiveudfs.GenIndex';
OK

Time taken: 1.664 seconds

 

hive> explain SELECT pageid, adid, index FROM  samplelist LATERAL VIEW
GenIndex(adinfo) adTable AS adid, index;

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: hiveudfs.GenIndex

Continuing ...

java.lang.NullPointerException: target should not be null

Continuing ...

Failed with exception null

FAILED: Execution Error, return code 1 from
org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.ExplainTask

 

I looked at the stack trace in the hive.log

         ...

        at
sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessor
Impl.java:25)

        at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:597)

        at org.apache.hadoop.util.RunJar.main(RunJar.java:156)

Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException

        at
org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.plan.UDTFDesc.getUDTFName(UDTFDesc.java:54)

        ... 26 more

 

So what should the name of this UDTF be?

Thanks Viraj

The NPE is probably related to 'java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: hiveudfs.GenIndex'. Can you include more of the log and any prior exceptions?
