Find the space used by a Hive table

There are a few ways to identify the space used by a Hive table.

Unfortunately, my Hive wouldn't accept these commands (and I haven't worked out why...):

• hive > SHOW TBLPROPERTIES <TableName>("rawDataSize")
• hive > DESCRIBE EXTENDED <TableName>

So I resorted to using the file system shell:

• hadoop fs -du -h <URI>
