What is the method for importing files from HDFS in Hive?

There are several methods for uploading files from the local system to HDFS.

1. Utilize Hadoop command line tools, for example hadoop fs -put .
2. You can drag and drop files directly into HDFS using the file browser in the Hue interface.
3. With Hadoop management tools like Apache Ambari or Cloudera Manager, users can easily upload files to HDFS through the interface.
4. Import local files into a Hive table using HiveQL statements, for example:

LOAD DATA LOCAL INPATH '<local_file>' OVERWRITE INTO TABLE <hive_table>;
