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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
