title: Hive 1.1.0 on zLinux RHEL6 using IBM JDK 1.7.1
body: <p>I've beeen working on porting over Hive 1.1.0 to zLinux with RHEL6, using the IBM JDKs. As you can imagine this has caused a number of issues. First RHEL6 doesn't at the moment have a way of getting Snappy Java to install due to the dependency on <code>libstdc++-static</code>. There are number of guides out there that enable you to get 1.1.3 on the system by installing it on RHEL7 and coping the JAR over, I took mine from here:
  <a href="https://github.com/linux-on-ibm-z/docs/wiki/Snappy-Java" rel="nofollow">linux-on-ibm-z/docs - Snappy Java</a></p>
  
  <p>I've also hit another interesting issue with a the Hive Query Language park of the set-up, namely it was failing here, with the following issue:</p>
