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

Question

I have a data file which is in .txt format. I am using the file to load data into Hive tables. When I load the file in a table like

CREATE TABL         


        

Answer 1

Since Hive does not do any transformation to our input data, the format needs to be the same: either the file should be in ORC format, or we can load data from a text file to a text table in Hive.
