These two sentences seem contradictory. Did you mean "create table as select is NOT supported in Hive 0.4 release," maybe?

DDL: "AS select_statement] (Note: this feature is only available on the latest trunk or versions higher than 0.4.0.)" I'm testing this syntax on 0.4.0(+14 - Cloudera distro) and I'm getting errors from the query parser at the second occurrence of 'as' for the select portion. hive> describe raw_facts; OK year int month int day int ... other fields... Time taken: 0.339 seconds hive> create table foo row format delimited fields terminated by '\t' stored as textfile as select year, month from raw_facts limit 20 ; FAILED: Parse Error: line 1:83 mismatched input 'as' expecting EOF I've tried other variations such as without the stored as clause and all uppercase but receive the same error. Is this incorrect usage on my part or is the CTAS syntax versions higher than 0.4.0, exclusive? Thanks in advance.
