title: exporting Hive table to csv in hdfs
body: <p>I know there is a known issue with delimiters when saving a table to csv (or other text file) in Hive.  So I'm wondering if you guys can help me get around that.  </p>
  
  <p>I have an existing table (Table A) and I would like to save it in csv format to hdfs.  From reading other responses I believe I would have to first create an external table (but I'm not sure how the whole thing would look).</p>
  
  <p>Can anyone help?</p>
