  • The default location of the hive table is: /user/hive/warehouse/databasename
  • Go to in browser, it will take to a page with a Browse the filesystem link.

  • That value is where the user want to navigate to after clicking the Browse the filesystem link.
  • Once the user navigate to that location, they will see the names of their tables.
