Running a Hive job from the command line


We can submit the Oozie Hive job from the command line. To see the Oozie help menu, we need to pass the arguments shown in the following screenshot:

Hive command-line options

The code for this section of chapter is present in the hive_commandline file placed at <BOOK_CODE_HOME>/learn_oozie/ch06/.

The Hive script used is pretty simple. It is just loading data into the Hive table using the LOAD command as follows:

LOAD DATA INPATH '/user/hue/learn_oozie/ch06/hive_commandline/input' INTO TABLE CH06_RAINFALL_TREND;

To run the job, we can use the following command:

oozie hive -config job.properties -file Insert.hql -oozie http://localhost:11000/oozie

Check the status of the job in the Oozie web console. The job should finish successfully.

In the next section, we will see the Hive action of Oozie.
