Hi Mark, We mostly do insert overwrite into local directory, and at that location multiple files with output of that query are created and we use these files our analysis. So, we want these files to be tab separated.
Limiting the number of records means limiting the length of a file, not limiting the overall output. For example, suppose my queries output has 10000 lines, I want to put limit on length of a file to 1000 lines, so hive should give me 10 files of 1000 lines each, is there any configuration for this ? Thanks, Chunky.
