Hi, I am trying to test creation of an external table using partitions, my files on hdfs are:
/user/training/partitions/dt=2/engine /user/training/partitions/dt=2/engine engine are sequence files which I have managed to create externally and query from, when I have not used partitions. When I create with partitions using : hive> CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE tpartitions(value STRING) PARTITIONED BY (dt STRING) STORED AS INPUTFORMAT 'org.apache.hadoop.mapred.SequenceFileAsTextInputFormat' OUTPUTFORMAT 'org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.io.HiveIgnoreKeyTextOutputFormat' LOCATION '/user/training/partitions'; OK Time taken: 0.067 seconds show partitions tpartitions; OK Time taken: 0.084 seconds hive> select * from tpartitions; OK Time taken: 0.139 seconds Can someone point to what am I doing wrong here?
