Building Apache Hive - impossible to resolve dependencies

Question

I am trying out the Apache Hive as per http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/Hive/GettingStarted and am getting this error from Ivy:

Downloaded file size doesn't match expected Content Length for http://archive.apache.org/dist/hadoop/core/hadoop-0.19.0/hadoop-0.19.0.tar.gz. Please retry.

This error repeats 4 times for 4 different versions of Hadoop and the build stops.

I have two questions:

1. How can I download these files manually and give them to the build?
2. Why does Hive need 4 different version of Hadoop downloaded just to build the binary?

Answer 1

I found the answer by asking on the mailing list:Re: Building Hive - cannot resolve dependencies
