Hi As a part of my oozie flows I need to create "touchz" files to notify status of each stage. I could never get Oozie shell action to work so I wanted to see if I could use Hive to run a hdfs/hadoop command
I had run hadoop commands inside hive but wanted to run them using -e and -f option Here is the result of my experiment. Hopefully it helps some of u ! HIVE -e option ============== hive -e \!"hdfs dfs -touchz /user/sasubramanian/gz.files.2013-06-07.files.copied.successful" HIVE -f option ============== Contents of mytouch.hql !hdfs dfs -touchz /user/sasubramanian/gz.files.${DATE_STR}.files.copied.successful # AT runtime I replace ${DATE_STR} with todays date hive -f mytouch.hql Creates the file beautifully sanjay CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE ====================== This email message and any attachments are for the exclusive use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.
