Hi -

I have this doubt.

Why do i need to use an INSERT INTO .....

can I just create hdfs directories and map it to a hive external table setting 
the location of the hdfs directories.

will this work ? please advise.

Thanks,
Raj

Yes it is possible:
hadoop fs -mkdir /hdfs_path/'cust_id>1000'

I tested it and works, then you can store data in this directory .

for concat function you do simple:

insert into your_table_partionned PARTITION (path_xxx)
select attr,id,  concat ('/data1/customer/', id) as path_xxx  from your_table
where  id <1000
......


Cdt.
