I am doing a dynamic partition load in Hive 0.13 using ORC files. This has
always worked in the past both with MapReduce V1 and YARN. I am working
with Mesos now, and trying to trouble shoot this weird error:



Failed with exception AlreadyExistsException(message:Partition already
exists



What's odd is is my insert is an insert (without Overwrite) so it's like
two different reducers have data to go into the same partition, but then
there is a collision of some sort? Perhaps there is a situation where the
partition doesn't exist prior to the run, but when two reducers have data,
they both think they should be the one to create the partition? Shouldn't
if a partition already exists, the reducer just copies it's file into the
partition?  I am struggling to see why this would be an issue with Mesos,
but not on Yarn, or MRv1.


Any thoughts would be welcome.


John
