Barnabas Maidics commented on HIVE-20241:
-----------------------------------------
I think the documentation should be updated about CTAS:
[https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/LanguageManual+DDL#LanguageManualDDL-CreateTableAsSelect(CTAS).]
It says:
"CTAS has these restrictions:
* The target table cannot be a partitioned table."
As I understand this is no longer a restriction.
> Support partitioning spec in CTAS statements

> Currently, for partitioned tables we will declare the table and insert the
> data in different operations. This issue is to extend CTAS statement to
> support specifying partition columns.
> For instance:
> {code:sql}
> CREATE TABLE partition_ctas_1 PARTITIONED BY (key) AS
> SELECT value, key FROM src where key > 200 and key < 300;
> {code}
