> When a simple select query with specified projections is processed, the {{MapRedTask}} attempts to serialize the execution plan to a scratch directory on the local file system specified by {{hive.user.scratchdir}} configuration property. The default value of this property points to {{/tmp/hive-${user.name}}}. On some *nix systems, the /tmp directory gets cleaned up on every reboot thus causing the query execution to fail.
