Hello, Can somebody please explain me or point me in the right direction for : how Hive handles gz compressed files, If I create an external table pointing to a .gz compressed file stored on AWS S3. Does hive copy the file to the HDFS and decompress it before it uses the file? OR does it use the file directly? If we use a decompressed file stored on S3... does hive still copy the file to HDFS or read records directly from S3?
Please help me understand the working. Thanking You, -- Regards, Ouch Whisper 010101010101
