Hi, This error *java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class*, could occur when the driver used to connect to the hive database, does not include the necessary dependencies. Hence, I would copy the driver along with its dependencies under the *<DENODO_HOME>\lib-external\jdbc-drivers\hive-1.1.0-cloudera* folder to overcome this error. You can refer to [Supported JDBC Data Sources](https://community.denodo.com/docs/html/browse/7.0/vdp/administration/appendix/supported_jdbc_data_sources/supported_jdbc_data_sources) section of the Virtual DataPort Administration Guide for more information. Hope this helps!
