Another solution would be Using shell script do following
1. unzip txt files, 2. one by one merge those 50 (or N number of) text files into one text file, 3. then the zip/tar that bigger text file, 4. then that big zip/tar file can be uploaded into hive.

Hive uses newline as the record separator. A ZIP file will certainly newline characters. So I doubt this is possible. BUT, I would like to hear from anyone who has solved the "newline is always a record separator" problem, because we ran into it for another type of compressed file.

All the files has similar schema (structure). Say 50 *.txt files are zipped into a single zip file can we load data directly from this zip file OR should we need to unzip first?
