title: SLF4J : Class path contains multiple SLF4J bindings on azure hdinsight
body: <p>I have created a hive external table to access hbase table by following this <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30127088/how-to-i-access-hbase-table-in-hive-vice-versa">HBase-Hive Integration answer</a>.</p>
  
  <p>Below is my hive query to create the external table:</p>
  
  <pre><code>CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE hive_tweets_by_message_words_key(key INT,d STRING) 
  STORED BY 'org.apache.hadoop.hive.hbase.HBaseStorageHandler' 
  WITH SERDEPROPERTIES ("hbase.columns.mapping" = ":key,d:d") 
  TBLPROPERTIES("hbase.table.name" = "tweets_by_message_words_key");
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But when I access the table with a  select query, it returns nothing and I found in job log as below mentioned in azure hdinsight</p>
  
  <pre><code>Logging initialized using configuration in file:/C:/apps/dist/hive-0.13.0.2.1.15.1-1234/conf/hive-log4j.properties
