It was not clear from the original post so I have asked for clarification and the answer was that the partition columns should be excluded.

LIKE Yes, but a create table unpartitioned as select * from partitioned will create an unpartitioned table with all the data in partitioned table. It won't lose the partition column, but nowhere do I see a need for that column to be removed.

I won't be knowing the schema so I cannot create manually the destination table. By the way both tables are external tables." This can be easily achieved through Spark by reading the Hive external table (assuming that the thread owner knows its name and the Hive database name :)) into a DF DF will display all the column names and a filter on it can get rid of the partition columns. New table can be created without those two columns and of course will not be partitioned.
