Hi Mich,
you did not get my question I guess . I am able to use import export. I am exporting data from dev101 (col1 int, col2 char(10)) and importing in dev102 (col1 int, col2 string) I am getting issue : >FAILED: SemanticException [Error 10120]: The existing table is not compatible >with the import spec. Column Schema does not match Is it possible to import char(10) field in string or char(20) ? Because I tried and got above mentioned exception.

Column Schema does not match Then I created another table `dev103` using create table dev103 (col1 int, col2 char(50)); Again imported: import table dev103 from '/tmp/dev101'; Same error: >FAILED: SemanticException [Error 10120]: The existing table is not compatible >with the import spec. Column Schema does not match Finally, I create table with **exactly same schema** create table dev104 (col1 int, col2 char(10)); And imported import table dev104 from '/tmp/dev101'; Imported Successfully. Does hive need exact schema in Hive Export/Import? ?
