Hi,
I am trying to create an external table in Hive by pointing it to a file
that has symbolic links in its path reference.
Hive seems to complain with the following error indicating that it thinks
the symbolic link is a file:
java.io.IOException: Open failed for file: /dir1/dir2/dir3_symlink, error:
Invalid argument (22)

Any help would be appreciated.
