Error while connecting to Hive using Java JDBC

Question

I am trying to connect to Hive using Java JDBC but I am getting driver error:

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.hadoop.hive.jdbc.HiveDriver
    at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:366)
    at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:355)

    at java.lang.Class.forName0(Native Method)
    at java.lang.Class.forName(Class.java:190)

How to solve this?

Use ​org.apache.hive.jdbc.HiveDriver as your driver. It should work
