    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-3682?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13898805#comment-13898805 ] 

Amareshwari Sriramadasu commented on HIVE-3682:
-----------------------------------------------

Though above suggestion of creating a table and insert overwrite table works, it enforces the user to know schema of the output and create the table ahead. When queries are automated, it is difficult to always create the table ahead. I have created the issue HIVE-6410 for adding the functionality in this issue for INSERT OVERWRITE DIRECTORY as well.

> By default,when output hive table to file ,columns of the Hive table are separated by ^A character (that is \001).
> But indeed users should have the right to set a seperator of their own choice.
> Usage Example:
> create table for_test (key string, value string);
> load data local inpath './in1.txt' into table for_test
> select * from for_test;
> UT-01：default separator is \001 line separator is \n
> insert overwrite local directory './test-01' 
> select * from src ;
> create table array_table (a array<string>, b array<string>)
> ROW FORMAT DELIMITED
> FIELDS TERMINATED BY '\t'
> COLLECTION ITEMS TERMINATED BY ',';
> load data local inpath "../hive/examples/files/arraytest.txt" overwrite into table table2;
> CREATE TABLE map_table (foo STRING , bar MAP<STRING, STRING>)
> ROW FORMAT DELIMITED
> FIELDS TERMINATED BY '\t'
> COLLECTION ITEMS TERMINATED BY ','
> MAP KEYS TERMINATED BY ':'
> STORED AS TEXTFILE;
> UT-02：defined field separator as ':'
> insert overwrite local directory './test-02' 
> row format delimited 
> FIELDS TERMINATED BY ':' 
> select * from src ;
> UT-03: line separator DO NOT ALLOWED to define as other separator 
> insert overwrite local directory './test-03' 
> row format delimited 
> FIELDS TERMINATED BY ':' 
> select * from src ;
> UT-04: define map separators 
> insert overwrite local directory './test-04' 
> row format delimited 
> FIELDS TERMINATED BY '\t'
> COLLECTION ITEMS TERMINATED BY ','
> MAP KEYS TERMINATED BY ':'
> select * from src;
