The steps for importing binary files into Hive are as follows:

  1. Firstly, create a Hive table with a structure that matches the format of the binary file. You can use a command similar to the following to create a table:
CREATE TABLE binary_table (
    id INT,
    data BINARY
)
  1. Use the LOAD DATA command in Hive to import a binary file into a table. Assuming the binary file is named binary_data.bin, you can use the following command to import it into the binary_table.
LOAD DATA LOCAL INPATH 'path_to_binary_data.bin' INTO TABLE binary_table

The local path of the binary file storage is path_to_binary_data.bin.

  1. Make sure that the format of the binary file matches the structure of the table, otherwise it may result in incorrect data insertion.

You can import binary files into Hive and store them in the corresponding table using the above steps.
