I'm trying to read a fixed width text file stored in Cassandra File System (CFS) using Hive. I'm able to query the file when I run from hive client. However, when I try to run from Hadoop Hive JDBC, It says table is not available or bad connection. Below are the steps I followed.
Input file (employees.dat):

Starting Hive Client
bash-3.2# dse hive;
Logging initialized using configuration in file:/etc/dse/hive/hive-log4j.properties
Hive history file=/tmp/root/hive_job_log_root_201209250900_157600446.txt
hive> use HiveDB;
OK
Time taken: 1.149 seconds
Creating Hive External Table pointing to fixed width format text file
hive> CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE employees (empid STRING, firstname STRING, lastname STRING, dept STRING, dateofjoining STRING, dateofbirth STRING)
> ROW FORMAT SERDE 'org.apache.hadoop.hive.contrib.serde2.RegexSerDe'
> WITH SERDEPROPERTIES ("input.regex" = "(.{4})(.{25})(.{25})(.{15})(.{10})(.{10}).*" )
> LOCATION 'cfs://hostname:9160/folder/';
OK
Time taken: 0.524 seconds
Do a select * from table.
hive> select * from employees;
OK

Do a select with specific fields from hive table throws permission error (first issue)
hive> select empid, firstname from employees;

The second issue is, when I try to run the select * query from JDBC Hive driver (outside of dse/cassandra nodes), It says the table employees is not available. The external table created acts like a temporary table and it does not get persisted. When I use 'hive> show tables;', the employees table is not listed. Can anyone please help me figure out the problem?
