BMp Image data to hive

Hello,

 

I am trying to load bmp image data to hive and getting below error. I went through many past discussions but didn't find an exact solution to implement.

 

Appreciate your help in solving this. 

 

Steps I followed.

 

1: Copied the images to HDFS

2: Created a table with a column Binary

3: Load using data in path.

 

Error:  Error while compiling statement: FAILED: SemanticException Unable to load data to destination table. Error: The file that you are trying to load does not match the file format of the destination table.

 

My scripts:

create table wrk_image 
(id int
, filename STRING
, data BINARY
);

load data inpath '/warehouse/tablespace/external/hive/cadt.db/scriptpro/' into table wrk_image;

Hi Sai,

 

Please follow https://community.cloudera.com/t5/Support-Questions/Does-hive-support-Photo-or-images-datatypes/td-p...

 

Copy the data to hdfs instead of loadpath and check,

 

Thanks,
