Hi I am trying to create a external table to a sequence file on HDFS.
I have my own input format and a SerDe, which is compiled into a jar and added in HIVE. Inspite of doing this, I get the following error. Please Suggest. hive> create table seq (key STRING, value STRING) ROW FORMAT SERDE 'com.org.SequenceFileKeyRecordReader' STORED AS INPUTFORMAT 'com.org.SequenceFileKeyInputFormat' OUTPUTFORMAT 'org.apache.hadoop.mapred.SequenceFileOutputFormat' location '/user/hiveFiles/'; FAILED: Error in metadata: Cannot validate serde: com.org.SequenceFileKeyRecordReader FAILED: Execution Error, return code 1 from org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.DDLTask hive> Thanks Ranjitha. ::DISCLAIMER:: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The contents of this e-mail and any attachment(s) are confidential and intended for the named recipient(s) only.
