             Summary: Implement insert, update, and delete in Hive with full 
ACID support
                 Key: HIVE-5317
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-5317
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Owen O'Malley
            Assignee: Owen O'Malley


Many customers want to be able to insert, update and delete rows from Hive 
tables with full ACID support. The use cases are varied, but the form of the 
queries that should be supported are:

* INSERT INTO tbl SELECT …
* INSERT INTO tbl VALUES ...
* UPDATE tbl SET … WHERE …
* DELETE FROM tbl WHERE …
* MERGE INTO tbl USING src ON … WHEN MATCHED THEN ... WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN ...
* SET TRANSACTION LEVEL …
* BEGIN/END TRANSACTION

Use Cases

* Once an hour, a set of inserts and updates (up to 500k rows) for various 
dimension tables (eg. customer, inventory, stores) needs to be processed. The 
dimension tables have primary keys and are typically bucketed and sorted on 
those keys.
* Once a day a small set (up to 100k rows) of records need to be deleted for 
regulatory compliance.
* Once an hour a log of transactions is exported from a RDBS and the fact 
tables need to be updated (up to 1m rows)  to reflect the new data. The 
transactions are a combination of inserts, updates, and deletes. The table is 
partitioned and bucketed.
