title: Can we load Parquet file into Hive directly?
body: <p>I know we can load parquet file using Spark SQL and using Impala but wondering if we can do the same using Hive. I have been reading many articles but I am still confused. </p>
  
  <p>Simply put, I have a parquet file - say users.parquet. Now I am struck here on how to load/insert/import data from the users.parquet into hive (obviously into a table).</p>
  
  <p>Please advise or point me in right direction if I am missing something obvious.</p>
