Description

At times it may be required to write a process that uses both the Hadoop and Hive environment and API. For example, someone may write an application that uses the HIVE api directly. This patch will add a more generic --jar extension that can start any class with the proper environment.

RUNJAR=/opt/hive/lib/hive_hwi.jar RUNCLASS=test.TestHive hive --service jar
