Moving to the apache mailing list.
I think you are using a wrong version of hive. validateInput was not present in the 0.18 and 0.19 versions of hadoop. It seems that you are using a 0.17 version of hive with one of those versions of hadoop.

Subject: [hive-users] insert overwrite local directory syntax?
Hi All,
I'm trying to select into a local file but getting a 255 error. Are
the errors defined anywhere public?
(I am using the tutorial:
http://mirror.facebook.com/facebook/hive/HiveLanguageTutorial.pdf
which has this syntax)
Thanks,
Tim
