---------------------------------------

             Summary: Insert into table with partition : overwriting the 
partition instead of appending records while running the hql script
                 Key: HIVE-3740
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-3740
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: CLI
    Affects Versions: 0.8.1
            Reporter: Sujesh Chirackkal


insert into table with partition works well with CLI. But overwriting the 
partition when executed through hql script.

Table Schema
(Table Name: jobs_status, partitioned on column job_name)
completed_time string
job_name string


hive script (status.hql) contains the below commands
use sample_db;
insert into table job_status 
partition(job_name='testJob')
select t.completionTime as completed_time from (select count(1) as cnt, 
from_unixtime(unix_timestamp()) as completionTime)t;

The above commands when executed through CLI works well and append new records 
into the partition. But when executing the script as hive -f status.hql, it 
overwrites the existing records from the partition and insert only the new 
record.
