Your zip file may be corrupted. How were the files imported into HDFS and hive?

Check out this article:

Here is a way to load compressed zip files into hive:

@sankar rao

An archive has been corrupted. You probably store compressed files (e.g. gzip or lzo) in Hive table directory and at least one of those files is corrupted. I would start moving files out of that folder (HDFS) in reverse chronological order and repeat the query until successful. That way you can find the corrupted archive. There are other ways to test your archives. You could do that too.

Try and let me know.

Thank you @Constantin Stanca

Actually i am new to hdp distribution ..i have below concern

#We loaded data into hive as textfile (uncompressed format).

#can you expand this answer "I would start moving files out of that folder (HDFS) in reverse chronological order and repeat the query until successful"

# I have my query and existing hive file system

select count(*) from db_c720_krux.events as a where site_name like ('Ka2XfElb') and day = '2016-06-17';issue4.png

Yes. That's the idea. One of the files is somehow corrupted.
