Hi,
In the below table space is the problem in columns.mapping WITH SERDEPROPERTIES("hbase.columns.mapping" = "cf_cdr:caller_name, cf_cdr:caller_number") Remove the space between 2 columns like WITH SERDEPROPERTIES("hbase.columns.mapping" = "cf_cdr:caller_name,cf_cdr:caller_number") hive> CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE hv_hb_cdr(key string, c_name string, c_number string) > STORED BY 'org.apache.hadoop.hive.hbase.HBaseStorageHandler' > WITH SERDEPROPERTIES("hbase.columns.mapping" = "cf_cdr:caller_name, cf_cdr:caller_number") > TBLPROPERTIES("hbase.table.name" = "hb_cdr"); Hope It Helps, Chinna Rao Lalam ________________________________ From: Madhusudhana Rao Podila [madhusudhana_pod...@infosys.com] Sent: Friday, January 27, 2012 3:01 PM To: user@hive.apache.org Subject: RE: Problem with Hive/HBase integration Thanks for the Quick reply Will download and try the same I am curious to check what was the reason for the issue…is version of HBase/Hive is the problem for the below issue I was mentioning or is there is issue with the way I was creating Hive table?
