How can you transfer data from hive to HDFS

Question

Hi,

Can anyone come up with a solution how can you transfer data from hive to HDFS?

Answer 1

Hey,

Data in Hive tables reside on HDFS, Hive is only a metadata layer that helps you access the HDFS data in for of tables and rows.

So you don’t transfer data from Hive to HDFS, as the data is already on HDFS.
