Description

HIVE-3682 allows user to store output of Hive query to a local file along with delimiters and separators of their choice.
e.g. insert overwrite local directory '/users/home/XYZ' row format delimited FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' SELECT * from table_name;

Storing query output with default separator(\001) to HDFS is possible.
e.g. insert overwrite directory '/user/xYZ/security' SELECT * from table_name;

But user can not store output of Hive query to a HDFS directory with delimiters and separators of their choice.
e.g. insert overwrite directory '/user/xYZ/security' row format delimited FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' SELECT * from table_name; (Gives ERROR)
