Description of Hive Table Location (Either Be an OBS or HDFS Path)

Question

Can Hive tables be stored in OBS or HDFS?

Answer

• The location of a common Hive table stored on OBS can be set to an HDFS path.
• In the same Hive service, you can create tables stored in OBS and HDFS, respectively.
• For a Hive partitioned table stored on OBS, the location of the partition cannot be set to an HDFS path. (For a partitioned table stored on HDFS, the location of the partition cannot be changed to OBS.)
