title: Basic issue in copying files from hive or hadoop to local directory due to wrong nomenclature
body: <p>I'm trying to copy a file that is hosted both within Hive and on an HDFS onto my local computer, but I can't seem to figure out the write call/terminology to use to invoke my local. All online explanations describe it solely as "path to local". I'm trying to copy this into a folder at <code>C/Users/PC/Desktop/data</code> and am using the following attempts:</p>
  
  <p>In HDFS</p>
  
  <pre><code>hdfs dfs -copyToLocal /user/w205/staging /C/Users/PC/Desktop/data
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>In Hive</p>
  
  <pre><code>INSERT OVERWRITE LOCAL DIRECTORY 'c/users/pc/desktop/data/' SELECT * FROM lacountyvoters;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How should I be invoking the local repository in this case?</p>
