+title: Registering Files into HAWQ Internal Tables
+---
+
+The `hawq register` utility loads and registers HDFS data files or folders
into HAWQ internal tables. Files can be read directly, rather than having to be
copied or loaded, resulting in higher performance and more efficient
transaction processing.

into the appropriate HAWQ table directory in HDFS and the utility updates the
corresponding HAWQ metadata for the files. Either AO for Parquet-formatted in
HDFS can be loaded into a corresponding table in HAWQ.

+You can use `hawq register` either to:
