Are there any exceptions in hive.log?. Is tmp_pv_v4* table part of the select query?
Assuming you are creating the table in staging.db, it would have created the table location as staging.db/foo (as you have not specified the location). Adding user@hive.apache.org as this is hive related. ~Rajesh.B On Sun, Dec 25, 2016 at 12:08 AM, Stephen Sprague <sprag...@gmail.com> wrote: > all, > > i'm running tez with the sql pattern: > > * create table foo as select * from (select...
