Hive data source fails and the log shows the root cause to be:
           Illegal Hadoop Version: Unknown (expected A.B.* format)

This is due to a problem with the "common-version-info.properties" file bundled inside the hadoop-common.jar. As each Hive/Hadoop vendor typically provides their own version of the hadoop commons jar, please contact the vendor and ask them to provide a hadoop-common.jar (along with any accompanying jar files) compatible with the JRE version shipped with the TIBCO Data Virtualization (TDV) installation. The JRE version can be found by running:
        <TDV_INSTALL>/jre/bin/java -version   (on Unix)
        <TDV_INSTALL>\jre\bin\java -version   (on Windows)

For example let's assume that the TDV Install directory is : C:\apps\tdv_80\, then the above command would be :
         C:\apps\tdv_80\jre\bin\java -version

Let us assume that the result of the above command was :
        java version ""1.8.0_192""

Request the vendor to provide jars that work with java version 1.8
