title: Loading data into a table
body: <p>I'm new to Hive and using DBVisualizer for hive</p>
  
  <p>I have a text file in the path *<em>D:\data files\datafiles*</em>. I want to load data from one of the files to a table created in hive. while i'm trying the following,</p>
  
  <pre><code>load data inpath "D:\data files\sample.txt" into table sample;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It is showing error like,</p>
  
  <pre><code> cause: FAILED: Error in semantic analysis: Line 1:17 Invalid path "D:\data files\sample.txt": only "file" or "hdfs" file systems accepted
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How can proceed, to place that file in correct path and where to place it??</p>
