Hello,

I have just started using Hive and I was trying to create an external table
with the csv file placed in NFS. I tried using file:// and local://. Both
of these attempts failed with the error:

create external table outside_supplier (S_SUPPKEY INT, S_NAME STRING,
S_ADDRESS STRING, S_NATIONKEY INT, S_PHONE STRING, S_ACCTBAL DOUBLE,
S_COMMENT STRING) ROW FORMAT DELIMITED FIELDS TERMINATED BY '|' STORED AS
TEXTFILE LOCATION 'local://mnt/h/tpc-h-impala/data/supplier.tbl';

FAILED: Error in metadata: MetaException(message:Got exception:
java.io.IOException No FileSystem for scheme: local)

and

create external table outside_supplier (S_SUPPKEY INT, S_NAME STRING,
S_ADDRESS STRING, S_NATIONKEY INT, S_PHONE STRING, S_ACCTBAL DOUBLE,
S_COMMENT STRING) ROW FORMAT DELIMITED FIELDS TERMINATED BY '|' STORED AS
TEXTFILE LOCATION 'file://mnt/h/tpc-h-impala/data/supplier.tbl';

FAILED: Error in metadata: MetaException
(message:file:/h/tpc-h-impala/data/supplier.tbl is not a directory or
unable to create one)

Am I missing some configuration? Any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks and Regards,
Mainak.
