I find similar error on https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KYLIN-2511
env: hadoop-2.7.1 hbase-1.3.2 apache-hive-2.1.1-bin apache-kylin-1.6.0-hbase1.x-bin
I've tried copy all the hive libs to kylin, but get another ERROR.
org.apache.hadoop.mapred.YarnChild: Error running child : java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/hadoop/hive/serde2/typeinfo/TypeInfo
The missing class should be in hive-exec-.jar; Check and debug the "bin/find-hive-dependency.sh" to see why it wasn't able to locate this jar from your server. You can manually add it to the "hive_exec_path" variable.
BTW, Kylin 1.6 is quite old, try to upgrade to a 2.x version.
