Hadoop Hive How to skip the first line of csv while loading in hive table

Question

I have created a table in hive:

CREATE TABLE db.test ( fname STRING, lname STRING, age STRING, mob BIGINT ) row format delimited fields terminated BY '\t' stored AS textfile;

Now to load data in table from file, I am using following command -

load data local inpath '/home/cluster/TestHive.csv' into table db.test;

I dont want to load the first column. So how can I skip it?

You can try this:

CREATE TABLE temp 
  ( 
     name STRING, 
     id   INT 
  ) 
row format delimited fields terminated BY '\t' lines terminated BY '\n' 
tblproperties("skip.header.line.count"="1");
