Java NoSuchMethodError when connecting via JDBC to Hive

Question

I'm getting the following error when attempting to connect to Hive from a simple java program in Eclipse. It looks like it connects then throws this error. I can connect to Hive Thrift server locally through beeline without issues.

both libthrift .jar files are 0.9.2. Same on client and server. Version for server and client for the following .jar files are the same:

hive-jdbc*.jar              1.2.0
hive-service*.jar           1.2.0
libfb303-0.9.0.jar          0.9.2
libthrift-0.9.0.jar         0.9.2
log4j-1.2.16.jar            1.2.16
slf4j-api-1.6.1.jar         1.7.5
slf4j-log4j12-1.6.1.jar     1.7.5
commons-logging-1.0.4.jar   1.1.3


Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.apache.thrift.protocol.TProtocol.getScheme()Ljava/lang/Class;
       at org.apache.hive.service.cli.thrift.TCLIService$OpenSession_args.write(TCLIService.java:1854)

The libthrift version I am using is listed by Apache as having the getScheme() method.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Make sure you have included the required jar files on your classpath. As you said its working on your local then I guess you did. If its not working on the actual server then make sure you have deployed the required jars.
