Xuefu Zhang commented on HIVE-19671:
------------------------------------

[~lirui] I think #1 is better. Nondeterministic partitioning including using 
random would be a problem in many aspects. #2 is a little harsh, as those are 
usually service level attributes. Thanks.

> Distribute by rand() can lead to data inconsistency
