DISCLAIMER: Hive has only been tested on unixUnix (linuxLinux) and mac Mac systems using Java 1.6 for now – although it may very well work on other similar platforms. It does not work on Cygwin.

...

Requirements

• Java 1.6
• Hadoop 0.20.x, 0.23.x, or 2.0.x-alpha

Installing Hive from a Stable Release

...

  $ mvn clean install -Phadoop-1,dist

Compile Hive Prior to 0.13 on Hadoop 0.20

Prior to Hive 0.13, Hive was built using Ant.  To build an older version of Hive on Hadoop 0.20:

  $ svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/hive/trunk hive
  $ cd hive
  $ ant clean package
  $ cd build/dist
  # ls
  LICENSE
  NOTICE
  README.txt
  RELEASE_NOTES.txt
  bin/ (all the shell scripts)
  lib/ (required jar files)
  conf/ (configuration files)
  examples/ (sample input and query files)
  hcatalog / (hcatalog installation)
  scripts / (upgrade scripts for hive-metastore)

If using antAnt, we will refer to the directory "build/dist" as <install-dir>.

...

To build Hive in Ant against Hadoop 0.23, 2.0.0, or other version, build with the appopriate appropriate flag, ; some examples below:

  $ ant clean package -Dhadoop.version=0.23.3 -Dhadoop-0.23.version=0.23.3 -Dhadoop.mr.rev=23
  $ ant clean package -Dhadoop.version=2.0.0-alpha -Dhadoop-0.23.version=2.0.0-alpha -Dhadoop.mr.rev=23
