I also ran into this problem. In my case, I managed to fix this problem by adding json-serde-1.3.7-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar in the hive command line, as shown below:
hive> ADD JAR /usr/local/Hive-JSON-Serde/json-serde/target/json-serde-1.3.7-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar;
Below are the steps that I followed in Ubuntu 14.04:
1. Fire up Linux terminal and cd /usr/local 2. sudo git clone https://github.com/rcongiu/Hive-JSON-Serde.git 3. sudo mvn -Pcdh5 clean package 4. The serde file will be in /usr/local/Hive-JSON-Serde/json-serde/target/json-serde-1.3.7-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar 5. Go to hive prompt and ADD JAR file as shown in Step 6. 6. hive> ADD JAR /usr/local/Hive-JSON-Serde/json-serde/target/json-serde-1.3.7- SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar; 7. Now create hive table from hive> prompt. At this stage, Hive table should be created successfully without any error.
