Hi,

I am trying to create an external table in Hive by pointing it to a file
that has symbolic links in its path reference.

Hive seems to complain with the following error indicating that it thinks
the symbolic link is a file:

java.io.IOException: Open failed for file: /dir1/dir2/dir3_symlink, error:
Invalid argument (22)
     at com.mapr.fs.MapRClient.open(MapRClient.java:190)

     at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.Child.main(Child.java:264)

Any help would be appreciated.

Looks like "MapR" is complaining for mounted directory and somehow it is not accessible.
