Hive error: parseexception missing EOF

问题:

I am not sure what I am doing wrong here:

hive> CREATE TABLE default.testtbl(int1 INT,string1 STRING)         stored as orc        tblproperties ("orc.compress"="NONE")        LOCATION "/user/hive/test_table";        FAILED: ParseException line 1:107 missing EOF at 'LOCATION' near ')' 

while the following query works perfectly fine:

hive>  CREATE TABLE default.testtbl(int1 INT,string1 STRING)          stored as orc         tblproperties ("orc.compress"="NONE");        OK        Time taken: 0.106 seconds 

Am I missing something here. Any pointers will help. Thanks!

Try put the "LOCATION" in front of "tblproperties" like below, worked for me.

CREATE TABLE default.testtbl(int1 INT,string1 STRING)     stored as orc    LOCATION "/user/hive/test_table"   tblproperties ("orc.compress"="NONE"); 

It seems even the sample SQL from book "Programming Hive" got the order wrong. Please reference to the official definition of create table command:

https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/LanguageManual+DDL#LanguageManualDDL-CreateTable

@Haiying Wang pointed out that LOCATION is to be put in front of tblproperties.

But I think the error also occurs when location is specified above stored as.

Its better to stick to the correct order:

CREATE [TEMPORARY] [EXTERNAL] TABLE [IF NOT EXISTS] [db_name.]table_name    -- (Note: TEMPORARY available in Hive 0.14.0 and later)   [(col_name data_type [COMMENT col_comment], ... [constraint_specification])]   [COMMENT table_comment]   [PARTITIONED BY (col_name data_type [COMMENT col_comment], ...)]   [CLUSTERED BY (col_name, col_name, ...) [SORTED BY (col_name [ASC|DESC], ...)] INTO num_buckets BUCKETS]   [SKEWED BY (col_name, col_name, ...)                  -- (Note: Available in Hive 0.10.0 and later)]      ON ((col_value, col_value, ...), (col_value, col_value, ...), ...)      [STORED AS DIRECTORIES]   [    [ROW FORMAT row_format]     [STORED AS file_format]      | STORED BY 'storage.handler.class.name' [WITH SERDEPROPERTIES (...)]  -- (Note: Available in Hive 0.6.0 and later)   ]   [LOCATION hdfs_path]   [TBLPROPERTIES (property_name=property_value, ...)]   -- (Note: Available in Hive 0.6.0 and later)   [AS select_statement];   -- (Note: Available in Hive 0.5.0 and later; not supported for external tables)

Check this post:

Loading Data from a .txt file to Table Stored as ORC in Hive

And check your source files present at the specified directory /user/hive/test_table. Incase the files are in .txt or some other non ORC format then you can follow the steps in the above post to come out of the error.

ParseException line lineNumber missing EOF at '.' near 'schemaName':

Got the above error while trying to execute the following command from linux script to truncate a hive table

dse -u username -p password hive -e "truncate table keyspace.tablename;"

Fix: Need to separate the commands within the script line as follows -

dse -u username -p password hive -e "use keyspace; truncate table keyspace.tablename;"

Happy coding!

Got the same error while creating a table in hive.

I used the drop command to drop the table and then run the create table command that I had again.

Worked for me.
