First, I guess the tag we're talking about is HIV.
When you really use the bush, you will never have a reason to add entries one at a time.
The easiest way to do this, I think, is to first create a CSV file with your data.
sample.csv Dan,50 Dave,20 Sam,30
Then we put the file in hdfs
hadoop fs -copyFromLocal ./sample.csv /user/me/sample.csv
Now we go to the hive and create our table with our data.
$ hive hive> Create EXTERNAL TABLE IF NOT EXISTS sample(NAME STRING, Grade int) hive> ROW FORMATED DELIMITED FILED TERMINATED BY ',' hive> STORED AS TEXTFILE location '/user/me/sample.csv';
