The partitions info you see on 'show partitions' is fetched from Hive metadata tables. The reason you are not seeing the path you are expecting might be either 1) the path got deleted after the data load (do a simple select and verify you see some data) or2) you have loaded the data from some other path to this partition -Venkatesh
