Summary: Support Append with Dynamic Partitioning
Key: HIVE-6476
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-6476
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Sub-task
Reporter: Sushanth Sowmyan
Currently, we do not support mixing dynamic partitioning and append in the same
job. One reason is that we need exhaustive testing of corner cases for that,
and a second reason is the behaviour of add_partitions. To support dynamic
partitioning with append, we'd have to have a add_partitions_if_not_exist call,
rather than an add_partitions call.
Thus, the current implementation in HIVE-6475 assumes immutability for all
dynamic partitioning jobs, irrespective of whether or not the table is marked
as mutable or not.
