Procedure: How to Configure the Java CLASSPATH

The location of the Hadoop and Hive jar files must be specified to the server. If you are running the server on the same system as the Hadoop and Hive server, you can specify their location. If you are running the server on another system, copy the files listed below to some location on your system and specify their location.

This can be done in the system CLASSPATH or in the DataMigrator or WebFOCUS Reporting Server IBI_CLASSPATH variable as follows:

  1. From the Web Console menu bar, select Workspace

    or

    From the Data Management Console, expand the Workspace folder.

  2. Expand the Java Services folder. Right-click DEFAULT and select Properties.

    The Java Services Configuration page opens.

  3. Click on the chevrons to expand Class Path

    In the IBI_CLASSPATH box, enter the full location of the Hive and Hadoop files shown below, where hive_home is where Hive is installed and hadoop_home is where Hadoop is installed. You must type them explicitly and cannot use $HIVE_HOME. The file names must be entered one per line.

    If you are installing the adapter on a different system than where Hadoop and Hive are installed, copy the jar files to a location on that system.

    Note: For a server running on Windows, use Windows syntax for directory names. For example:

    C:\jdbc\hive-jdbc-0.10.0.jar

    For Hive 0.12:

    Use the version numbers (such as 0.12.0) that match your installation. Use this driver to connect to a Hive 0.12 server only.

    /hive_home/lib/commons-logging-1.1.1.jar
    /hive_home/lib/hive-exec-0.12.0.jar
    /hive_home/lib/hive-jdbc-0.12.0.jar
    /hive_home/lib/hive-metastore-0.12.0.jar
    /hive_home/lib/hive-service-0.12.0.jar
    /hive_home/lib/httpclient-4.2.5.jar
    /hive_home/lib/httpcore-4.2.4.jar
    /hive_home/lib/libfb303-0.9.0.jar
    /hive_home/lib/log4j-1.2.16.jar
    /hive_home/lib/slf4j-api-1.6.1.jar
    /hive_home/lib/slf4j-log4j12-1.6.1.jar
    /hadoop_home/hadoop-core-1.1.2.jar

    For Hive 0.10 or 0.11:

    Use the version numbers (such as 0.10.0) that match your installation.

    /hive_home/lib/hive-exec-0.10.0.jar
    /hive_home/lib/hive-metastore-0.10.0.jar
    /hive_home/lib/hive-jdbc-0.10.0.jar
    /hive_home/lib/slf4j-log4j12-1.6.1.jar
    /hive_home/lib/libfb303.jar
    /hive_home/lib/hive-service-0.10.0.jar
    /hive_home/lib/slf4j-api-1.6.1.jar
    /hadoop_home/hadoop-core-1.0.3.jar

    For Impala:

    Enter the location where you installed the JDBC driver and the names of each of jar files it included, one per line. These are the file names from impala-jdbc-0.5-2.

    /jdbc/commons-logging-1.0.4.jar
    /jdbc/hive-jdbc-0.10.0-cdh4.2.0.jar
    /jdbc/hive-metastore-0.10.0-cdh4.2.0.jar
    /jdbc/hive-service-0.10.0-cdh4.2.0.jar
    /jdbc/libfb303-0.9.0.jar
    /jdbc/libthrift-0.9.0.jar
    /jdbc/log4j-1.2.16.jar
    /jdbc/slf4j-api-1.6.4.jar
    /jdbc/slf4j-log4j12-1.6.1.jar
  4. Scroll down and click the Save and Restart Java Services button.
