FAILED: ParseException line 2:0 cannot recognize input near 'LOCATION' ''/hivetest/onetxt/'' ''

错误产生原因：

在建表脚本里面

DROP TABLE GRADE;
CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE GRADE (ID STRING,NAME STRING,GRADE STRING,PAIMING STRING)ROW FORMAT DELIMITED FIELDS TERMINATED BY '\t';
LOCATION '/hivetest/onetxt/';

LOCATION前面加了一个分号；

去掉即可。
