J.P Feng created HIVE-20594: ------------------------------- Summary: insert overwrite may brings duplicated data when hdfs path exists but partition missing in hms Key: HIVE-20594 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-20594 Project: Hive Issue Type: Bug Components: Hive Affects Versions: 2.1.1 Reporter: J.P Feng
when i insert overwrite a partitioned table whose hdfs path exists but its partition is missing from hms, i will get the duplicated data. sql: insert overwrite table hive_test.temp_fcs2_inv_trx_settle_intf_out_all_2ns partition (month = '201808' ) select * from xxx where month = '201808'; 1. there is 10 files in hive_test.temp_fcs2_inv_trx_settle_intf_out_all_2ns month=201808/000001_0 month=201808/000002_0 ... month=201808/000009_0 2. if hive_test.temp_fcs2_inv_trx_settle_intf_out_all_2ns is a external table and i drop partition (month=201808) / or in other ways, i drop partition (month=201808) but do not remove the data under it 3.insert overwrite table hive_test.temp_fcs2_inv_trx_settle_intf_out_all_2ns partition (month = '201808' ) select * from xxx where month = '201808' if in such sql, it generates 9 maps, and may generates 9 files : month=201808/000001_0 ~ month=201808/000008_0 after executing such sql, we may find the file `month=201808/000009_0` will still remain, then we may get the duplicated data. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
