Namit Jain commented on HIVE-1707: ---------------------------------- 1. I dont think we should add a new varaible "hive.exec.partition.usetable.dfs" - we should always use table dfs. 2. I think there is a bug when the table's location does not contain the fs (in SemanticAnalyzer). Path tabPath = dest_tab.getPath(); Path partPath = dest_part.getPartitionPath(); if (conf.getBoolVar(HiveConf.ConfVars.HIVEPARTITIONUSETBLDFS)) { // if the table is in a different dfs than the partition, // replace the partition's dfs with the table's dfs. dest_path = new Path(tabPath.toUri().getScheme(), tabPath.toUri() .getAuthority(), partPath.toUri().getPath()); } else { We should pick the default fs then. 3. Path newPartPath = new Path(loadPath.toUri().getScheme(), loadPath .toUri().getAuthority(), oldPartPath.toUri().getPath()); same as above in Hive.java 4. if (partPath != null && !partPath.equalsIgnoreCase(tpart.getSd().getLocation())) { tpart.getSd().setLocation(partPath); } Cant we always set the location ? > 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 > > Attachments: hive-1707.1.patch > > > 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.
