Is the extra 's' needed in your path:
LOAD DATA INPATH '/users/dept.txt' overwrite into table DEPT; -----Original Message----- From: Muthukumar Somasundaram (ETS) [mailto:muthukum...@hcl.com] Sent: Monday, May 12, 2014 12:59 AM To: user@hive.apache.org Subject: Hive dataload issue. Hi I need a help in resolving a data load issue with Hive. Background: I am testing the Informatica connectivity with Big data ( Hadoop and Hive). I have installed HDFS 1.0.3 and Hive 0.7.1 in RHEL 5.5. I am able to perform all HDFS operations. When I try to load a hive table using hive command line, I am getting the below error. If you have faced this earlier or you know the solution please let me know. I tried loading both local file and hdfs file. Both are giving same error. Hope I miss some configuration. Please find the attached screen shot. I tested the script in cloudera , it works fine. Thanks in advance.
