Description
The Hive Webserver fails to startup with the following error message, if HIVE_AUX_JARS_PATH environment variable is set (works fine if unset).
$ build/dist/bin/hive --service hwi
Exception in thread "main" java.io.IOException: Error opening job jar: -libjars
at org.apache.hadoop.util.RunJar.main(RunJar.java:90)
Caused by: java.util.zip.ZipException: error in opening zip file

Slightly modifying the command line to launch hadoop in hwi.sh solves the problem:
$ diff bin/ext/hwi.sh /tmp/new-hwi.sh
28c28
< exec $HADOOP jar $AUX_JARS_CMD_LINE ${HWI_JAR_FILE} $CLASS $HIVE_OPTS "$@"
—
> exec $HADOOP jar ${HWI_JAR_FILE} $CLASS $AUX_JARS_CMD_LINE $HIVE_OPTS "$@"
