             Summary: Dynamic partition insert problem on external table with 
"=" in path
                 Key: HIVE-22088
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-22088
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Bug
         Environment: Hive 2.6.0.10-2 Executing on Tez.

Config settings used:

SET hive.exec.dynamic.partition=true;
SET hive.exec.dynamic.partition.mode=nonstrict;
            Reporter: Puneet Khatod


If external table path has a '=' sign (coincidentally partition specifier) in 
it, then dynamic partition loading fails.

*Use cases:*

Quite often the same data is used in different contexts by creating different 
external tables on top of the data. Many times the tables have different 
partition depths depending on how data is organized. Static partition insert on 
external table with '=' (partition specifier) in path works fine but dynamic 
partition fails.

*Replication:*

To replicate following simple setup could be done. Below execution is on 'Tez'.

*Source table**-* 

CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE temp_dummy_table
(id STRING, type STRING)
ROW FORMAT DELIMITED FIELDS TERMINATED BY '|' LINES TERMINATED BY '\n' STORED 
AS TEXTFILE
LOCATION '/home/source/';

 

*Destination Table-*

CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE temp_dummy_dest_table
(id STRING)
PARTITIONED BY (type string)
ROW FORMAT DELIMITED FIELDS TERMINATED BY '|' LINES TERMINATED BY '\n' STORED 
AS TEXTFILE
LOCATION '/home/destination/customer=abc/';

 

*Insert into destination-*

insert overwrite table temp_dummy_dest_table partition (type)
select i.id as id, i.type as type
from temp_dummy_table i
where i.type in ('type1','type2');

 

*Log and Error Msgs on CLI*-

Loading data to table temp_dummy_dest_table partition (type=null)

Failed with exception Partition spec \{type=type1, customer=abc} contains 
non-partition columns

FAILED: Execution Error, return code 1 from 
org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.MoveTask

 

*Possible resolution:*

The dynamic partitioning should consider only those partition specs which are 
under teh defined table root path. If the path itself has partition style 
format (customer=abc in above example) then that should not be considered as 
partition as it is outside the scope of the table.
