Question

Point out the wrong statement.

(a) The Hive metastore lets you create tables without specifying a database

I got this question by my college professor while I was bunking the class.

I need to ask this question from HCatalog with Hadoop in division Apache Spark, Flume, Lucene, Hama, HCatalog, Mahout, Drill, Crunch and Thrift of Hadoop

Answer 1

Right answer is (d) None of the mentioned

The explanation is: If you created tables using metastore, then the database name is ‘default’ and is not required when specifying the table for HCatLoader.
