bug when different partitions are present in different dfs ----------------------------------------------------------
Key: HIVE-1707 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1707 Project: Hadoop Hive Issue Type: Bug Components: Query Processor Reporter: Namit Jain Assignee: He Yongqiang Fix For: 0.7.0 The following does not work: create table T -> default location dfs1 insert overwrite T partition (ds='1') select * from src; alter table T location 'dfs2'; insert overwrite T partition (ds='1') select * from src; It tries to insert back in dfs1 - due to which the move task fails. It would be cleaner to keep the same semantics as fileformat - whenever a partition is being inserted into, it inherits the properties from the table. So, after the insert, the partition should belong to dfs1. It does not matter whether the partition exists before or not,. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
