Hi all,

I would like to do union all with a field that is hardcoded in the request.

   INSERT OVERWRITE TABLE all_dictionaries_ext
     SELECT name, id, category FROM dictionary
     UNION ALL SELECT NAME, ID, "CAMPAIGN" FROM md_campaigns

Name type is String
Id type is int
Category type is string

When I run this command I had an error :
FAILED: SemanticException 4:47 Schema of both sides of union should match.
_u1-subquery2 does not have the field category. Error encountered near
token 'md_campaigns'

I supposed that the error is cause by the String "CAMPAIGN" which should
not have a type.

How can do this kind of union ?

The union all with 2 hard coded fields is ok.
  INSERT OVERWRITE TABLE all_dictionaries_ext
    SELECT NAME, ID, "CAMPAIGN" FROM md_campaigns
     UNION ALL SELECT NAME, ID, "AD_SERVER" FROM md_ad_servers
     UNION ALL SELECT NAME, ID, "AVERTISER" FROM md_advertisers
     UNION ALL SELECT NAME, ID, "AGENCIES" FROM md_agencies
