Installing hive 0.9 on macbook pro OS X 10.8.2

If you are reading this post I assume you are interested in getting started with hive on your macbook and already have hadoop installed. For details on installing hadoop please refer to my post here

Again howbrew provides an easy way to get hive on your mac.
Run this from your mac terminal:
> brew install hive

You will see brew installs hive on your mac and you will see output similar to the one below:
==> Downloading http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi?path=hive/hive-0.9.0/hive-0.9.0-bin.tar.gz
==> Best Mirror http://apache.claz.org/hive/hive-0.9.0/hive-0.9.0-bin.tar.gz

==> Caveats
Hadoop must be in your path for hive executable to work.
After installation, set $HIVE_HOME in your profile:
  export HIVE_HOME=/usr/local/Cellar/hive/0.9.0/libexec

You may need to set JAVA_HOME:
  export JAVA_HOME="$(/usr/libexec/java_home)"
==> Summary
/usr/local/Cellar/hive/0.9.0: 276 files, 25M, built in 13 seconds

Export HIVE_HOME and JAVA_HOME as prompted from your terminal

export HIVE_HOME=/usr/local/Cellar/hive/0.9.0/libexec
export JAVA_HOME="$(/usr/libexec/java_home)"

Now you can start hive as follows:

/usr/local/Cellar/hive/0.9.0/bin/hive


You should be all set at this point to work with hive.
Hope this helps.
