if you were running CTAS command from hive CLI, you might have noticed that headers get printed in CLI once the query execution is completed. I think the property hive.cli.print.header is there to only print headers only in cli.
Not sure about S3, but I tried below which worked perfectly hive -e "set hive.cli.print.header=true; create table....." >> output.txt Thank you, *Pushkar Gujar* On Wed, Mar 8, 2017 at 6:47 PM, Punit Shetty <punitshett...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > I'm trying to get the column headers into a S3 file. > > When I run this on the hive command line: > set hive.cli.print.header=true; > select * from abc; > > Things work fine, I'm able to see the column headers with the table data > on the console. > > But my query is, when I try something like this: > set hive.cli.print.header=true; > CREATE TABLE test123 ROW FORMAT DELIMITED FIELDS TERMINATED BY '\t' LINES > TERMINATED BY '\n' STORED AS TEXTFILE LOCATION 's3://somelocation' AS > select * abc; > > The column headers are missing from the S3 file. > > Is this the expected behaviour or am I missing something? > > Thanks, > Punit >
