Hi Lefty, I was using the documentation (https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/WebHCat+Reference+Hive) created by you to execute Hive queries using WebHcat REST API.
Below is the CURL call which I am using to execute the query: curl -s -d execute="desc + tpcds_bin_partitioned_orc_100 + . + catalog_page" -d statusdir=“output" 'ctr-e129-1487033772569-69920-01-000002.hwx.site:50111/templeton/v1/hive?user.name=root’ I get the JOB ID in the request result {"id":"job_1491300039844_0137”} I tried other simple queries(like select * from tableName) as well. But unlike the example described in the documentation, I am not getting any results in the HDFS directory hadoop fs –cat output/stdout hadoop fs –cat output/stderr doesn’t contain anything. Do you have any comments on what might be the issue. Thanks in advance Vimal
