Description

The parquet jar isn't getting picked up by the hive metastore in v1.1.1.
Observed behavior:

[impala:21000] > select * from foo;
Query: select * from foo
ERROR: AnalysisException: Failed to load metadata for table: default.foo
CAUSED BY: TableLoadingException: Failed to load metadata for table: foo
CAUSED BY: MetaException: org.apache.hadoop.hive.serde2.SerDeException SerDe parquet.hive.serde.ParquetHiveSerDe does not exist

One solution is (as root) on the node running the hive metadata service:
cd /usr/lib/hive/lib
ln -s /usr/lib/impala/lib/parquet-hive-1.0.jar
(restart hive metastore)

for parcels use; ln -s /opt/cloudera/parcels/IMPALA/lib/impala/lib/parquet-hive-1.0.jar /opt/cloudera/parcels/CDH/lib/hive/lib/

Adding parquet-hive-1.0.jar to the hive.aux.jars.path does not seem to resolve this issue. More investigation needed for a solution.
