@Ram M

can you try create table like this

create external table emp1(eno int,

ename string,

sal string)

row format delimited

fields terminate by '~'

location '/tmp';

this will create a table with name emp1 on hdfs under /tmp location. seems you are following some cloudera documentation to create table on hdp platform but user cloudera won't exist on HDP thats why you are facing problem.

you need to explicitly load data using load data inpath into table
