the one i said does not work on hdfs files. Its just one way to write the stdlog to a file.
I am not sure if hive allows you named files for output and the above settings will make your query run really slow if you have large dataset. if you are really specific on having a filename then for now I am not aware if hive supports it. I did a quick search but did not find anything useful. If you need a quick way to get to your solution then pig supports the store function and its written to a named file. i will search in depth and see if there is anything in configurations of hive On Thu, Jul 4, 2013 at 8:50 PM, Matouk IFTISSEN <matouk.iftis...@ysance.com>wrote: > Thanks for your responses, > effctively the answer of Bertrand make this possible: the set of hive > properities below froce thet job to write the hive result in one file > whithout specifing the name (0000_0) : > set hive.exec.reducers.max = 1; > > set mapred.reduce.tasks = 1; > > for Nitin, I want to store the results of SELECT not the stdout (log) of > execution of the query, is this applicable for the results of SELECT? > > > > > 2013/7/4 Michael Malak <michaelma...@yahoo.com> > >> I have found that for output larger than a few GB, redirecting stdout >> results in an incomplete file.
