hive> dfs -mkdir -p /data;
或者在linux命令终端输入：
hdfs dfs -mkdir -p /data;

② 在hive中执行HDFS命令：上传/emp.txt至HDFS的data目录下，并命名为emp_out

Hive命令终端输入：
hive> dfs -put /emp.txt /DATA/emp_out;
或者Linux命令终端输入：
hdfs dfs -put /emp.txt /DATA/emp_out;

③ 创建外部表：emp_out

create external table emp_out(
empno int,
ename string,
job string,
mgr int,
hiredate string,
sal double,
comm double,
deptno int)
row format delimited fields terminated by ','
location '/data';
