Running query from Amplab-shark to cassandra on hdfs

Question

Please help needed for Amplab-Shark query on cassandra in hdfs.

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/hadoop/mapreduce/task/JobContextImpl

I can successfully run:

• use database
• show tables;
• etc.

But can not run any select statement ie:

I get the following error:

I would need to see the full config and how you set up the tables for a better answer. Just looking at the error it seems like you are missing some hadoop jars on your classpath
