I'm having problems with HIVE- EC2 reading files on S3. I have a lot of files and folders on S3 created by s3cmd and utilized by Elastic Map Reduce (HIVE) and they work interchangeably, files created by HIVE-EMR can be read by s3cmd and vice versa. However, I'm having problems with HIVE/Hadoop running on EC2. Both Hive 0.7 and 0.8 seem to create an additional folder "/" on S3
For example, if I have a file s3://bucket/path/00000 created by s3cmd or HIVE-EMR and I try to create an external table on HIVE- EC2 create external table wc(site string, cnt int) row format delimited fields terminated by '\t' stored as textfile location 's3://bucket/path' This does not recognize the EMR created s3 folders, instead I see a new folder "/" <bucket> / "/" / path Am I missing something here ?
