Exception in thread “main” java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/hadoop/tracing/SpanReceiverHost

I am running Hadoop 2.8.1 and Hive 2.3.0 I am tring to read values from an a table created in Hive and the current exception is

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.hadoop.tracing.SpanReceiverHost
    at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:381)
    at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:424)
    at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Launcher.java:331)
    at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:357)

And here is the code that I have used to read the tables

 public static final String HIVEURL = "jdbc:hive2://localhost:10000";
    public static final String DB_NAME = "default";
    public static final String TABLE_NAME = "order_line";

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        HiveConf hiveConf = new HiveConf();
        //hiveConf.setVar(HiveConf.ConfVars.METASTOREURIS, HIVEURL);
        HiveMetaStoreClient hiveClient = new HiveMetaStoreClient(hiveConf);

        Job job =Job.getInstance();
        TaskAttemptContext ctx = new TaskAttemptContextImpl(job.getConfiguration(), new TaskAttemptID());
        HCatInputFormat hcif = HCatInputFormat.setInput(job, DB_NAME, TABLE_NAME);


        HCatSchema allCols = hcif.getTableSchema(job.getConfiguration());
        List<HCatFieldSchema> usedList = new ArrayList<>();
        usedList.add(allCols.get(2)); // por ex...
        HCatSchema someCols = new HCatSchema(usedList);
        hcif.setOutputSchema(job, someCols);

        for(InputSplit split: hcif.getSplits(job)) {
            RecordReader<WritableComparable, HCatRecord> rr = hcif.createRecordReader(split,ctx);
            rr.initialize(split, ctx);

            while(rr.nextKeyValue()) {
                HCatRecord record = rr.getCurrentValue();
                // usar record.get(...) para obter a coluna...
                //Object o = record.get(1);
                //System.out.println(o.toString());

            }

            rr.close();
        }

        hiveClient.close();
    }

And here it is the Pom file that I have used

Answer

I can’t see what actually causes the loadClass from the stack trace snippet, but it appears that the class doesn’t actually exist in the version, 2.8.1, of hadoop-common you’re using. It seems to have vanished somewhere after 2.7.2

It, or something with the same name, is in the hbase source

Have you got a mix’n’match of versions going on?
