I've been setting while in hive with:

set mapred.job.tracker = 'host:port'

but this didn't help. Is setting that property in mapred-site.xml any
different?

I've created a GIST with config and logs from my test:

https://gist.github.com/zygm0nt/5028591

What I did was just call the following commands:

use hdp_sand; -- to change schema
select  count(*) from page_view;

page_view is a simple table, from hive "Getting started" guide. It has
partitions in my case, but doing the same on a non-partitioned table
produces the same error.

I'll build the trunk and try to test it. Then I'll let you know if that
helped.
