He Yongqiang commented on HIVE-1975:
------------------------------------
what's the use case here? the user can always first create the parent dir. But
users misspell the dir name, they may not want the dirs created. Or worse, the
data got loaded to some other place they not noticed.
> "insert overwrite directory" Not able to insert data with multi level
> directory path
