Hi, I would like to load an XML data file into HIVE. I created a table with just one column:
create table xmltable (xmldata String ) STORED AS TEXTFILE; and then loaded the xml file into that table LOAD DATA LOCAL INPATH '/test.xml' OVERWRITE INTO TABLE xmltable; I thought I can use the XPATH to extract individual elements. But I am not sure 1) How to specify the root node as a record terminator on CREATE TABLE statement (it's using '\n' by default) 2) Change the current context / node for the XPATH Can some one provide guidance and may be point to some good examples? Thanks, Sadu
