"LOAD DATA INPATH" fails when the table already contains a file of the same name
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HIVE-1996
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1996
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 0.7.0
            Reporter: Kirk True
            Assignee: Kirk True


Steps:

1. From the command line copy the kv2.txt data file into the current user's 
HDFS directory:

    $ hadoop fs -copyFromLocal /path/to/hive/sources/data/files/kv2.txt kv2.txt

2. In Hive, create the table:

    create table tst_src1 (key_ int, value_ string);

3. Load the data into the table from HDFS:

    load data inpath './kv2.txt' into table tst_src1;

4. Repeat step 1
5. Repeat step 3

Expected:

To have kv2.txt renamed in HDFS and then copied to the destination as per 
HIVE-307.

Actual:

File is renamed, but Hive.copyFiles doesn't "see" the change in "srcs" as it 
continues to use the same array elements (with the un-renamed, old file names). 
It crashes with this error:
