Question

I would like to know how I can move date from Hive to MySQL?

I have seen example on how to move hive data to Amazon DynamoDB but not for a RDBMS like MySQL. Here is the example that I saw with DynamoDB:

CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE tbl1 ( name string, location string )
STORED BY 'org.apache.hadoop.hive.dynamodb.DynamoDBStorageHandler'
TBLPROPERTIES ("dynamodb.table.name" = "table",
"dynamodb.column.mapping" = "name:name,location:location") ;

I would like to do the same but with MySQL instead. I wonder if I need to code my own StorageHandler? I also to do not want to use sqoop. I want to be able to do my query directly in my HiveQL script.

You’d currently need a JDBC StorageHandler, which one has not been created just yet, but you could certain build your own.

There is currently an issue report for this which you can follow here:
