I have installed Hive 0.13.0 which is the current stable release but when I want to start the hive web interface I experience the unexpected possibility to only see my root dir in the web under HIVEHOST:9999/hwi.
Looking for the hive-hwi-.war as it is mentioned in the documentation I found out that there is absolutely no war file in the lib directory.
Might it be a build error? Funny thing is that there is a hive-hwi-.jar which contains the same classes as the war should except the JSPs. So I guess the maven build is messed up.
