Insert data into hive table

Question

Using a Cygwin distribution, I\'ve installed Hadoop 0.20.3 and Hive 0.11.0.

First of all, I don\'t understand how to use the Hive CLI:

hive> show tabl         


        

Answer 1

Although there is an accepted answer I would want to add that as of Hive 0.14, record level operations are allowed. The correct syntax and query would be:

INSERT INTO TABLE tweet_table VALUES ('data');
