How do I output the results of a HiveQL query to CSV?

Question

we would like to put the results of a Hive query to a CSV file. I thought the command should look like this:

insert overwrite directory \'/home/output.csv\'          


        

Answer 1

This shell command prints the output format in csv to output.txt without the column headers.

$ hive --outputformat=csv2 -f 'hivedatascript.hql' --hiveconf hive.cli.print.header=false > output.txt
