rhive.connect() error: java.sql.SQLException: Execution Error, return code 1 from org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.FunctionTask

Hi,

I'm trying to use RHive and connect but it throws this error:
Error: java.sql.SQLException: Error while processing statement: FAILED: Execution Error, return code 1 from org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.FunctionTask

My code is:

library(RHive)
Sys.setenv("HIVE_HOME" = "/opt/cloudera/parcels/CDH-4.6.0-1.cdh4.6.0.p0.26/lib/hive/")
Sys.setenv("HADOOP_HOME" = "/opt/cloudera/parcels/CDH-4.6.0-1.cdh4.6.0.p0.26/lib/hadoop/")
Sys.setenv("HADOOP_CONF_DIR" = "/opt/cloudera/parcels/CDH-4.6.0-1.cdh4.6.0.p0.26/etc/hadoop/")
Sys.setenv("RHIVE_FS_HOME" ="/rhive")

rhive.init(hiveLib = "../../rstudio/R/libs/hive",hadoopConf = "/opt/cloudera/parcels/CDH-4.6.0-1.cdh4.6.0.p0.26/etc/hadoop/")
rhive.env()
rhive.connect(host = "xx.xx.xx.xx",port = "10000",user = "xxxx", hiveServer2 = TRUE)

Is there any way to know the exact error?
Thanks.

Maybe RHive is trying to "create function" for UDFs. You need to check the log of HiveServer2 to find which statement is failed to execute.

We've had a similar issue that arose due to R not having sufficient permissions in hdfs.
