I have created a external table and when I provide the location of the data for this table I get the following error: FAILED: Error in metadata: MetaException(message:java.lang.IllegalStateException: Can't overwrite cause) FAILED: Execution Error, return code 1 from org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.DDLTask Also I am able to load the same file using PIG Script using the PigStorage() loader function. I have the following permissions on the file: -rw-rw-r-- and on the folder where this file resides (Giving the path of this folder in location in the query ) : drwxrwxr-x What can be the cause for this and how to correct this error ? -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.5#6160)
