[jira] [Created] (HIVE-6509) Error in metadata: MetaException(message:java.lang.IllegalStateException: Can't overwrite cause)

Rishabh Bhardwaj created HIVE-6509:
--------------------------------------

             Summary: Error in metadata: MetaException(message:java.lang.IllegalStateException: Can't overwrite cause)
                 Key: HIVE-6509
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-6509
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Task
            Reporter: Rishabh Bhardwaj


I have created a external table and when I provide the location of the data for this table I get the following error:

FAILED: Error in metadata: MetaException(message:java.lang.IllegalStateException: Can't overwrite cause)
FAILED: Execution Error, return code 1 from org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.DDLTask

Also I am able to load the same file using PIG Script using the PigStorage() loader function.

I have the following permissions on the file: -rw-rw-r-- 
and on the folder where this file resides (Giving the path of this folder in location in the query ) : drwxrwxr-x 

What can be the cause for this and how to correct this error ?
