> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: Transactions
> Affects Versions: 3.0.0
> Reporter: Eugene Koifman
> Assignee: Sergey Shelukhin
> Priority: Major

> Judging by
> {code:java}
> Hive.loadTable(Path loadPath, String tableName, LoadFileType loadFileType,
> boolean isSrcLocal,
> boolean isSkewedStoreAsSubdir, boolean isAcid, boolean
> hasFollowingStatsTask,
> Long txnId, int stmtId, boolean isMmTable)
> {code}
> LOAD DATA with OVERWRITE will delete all existing data then write new data
> into the table. This logic makes sense for non-acid tables but for Acid/MM
> it should work like INSERT OVERWRITE statement and write new data to base_n/.
> This way the lock manager can be used to either get an X lock for IOW and
> thus block all readers or let it run with SemiShared and let readers continue
> and make the system more concurrent.
