This got added from hive 2.1.0 release onwards. Thanks Prasanth On May 21, 2017, at 1:13 AM, Rishi Aggarwal <ri...@hike.in<mailto:ri...@hike.in>> wrote: I am running a insert overwrite query on an external table which is partitioned (192 partitions). On doing explain I see there are mainly two stage. 1. MR stage (8 mappers and 10 reducers) 2. Move Stage MR stage is completing in 15-20 mins. Move stage is taking about 3hours. On looking further I found, reducers are writing to a temporary location then in move stage it's moved to target location. Move from temp to target is happening sequentially. And since I have 192 partitions and 10 reducers. It's taking 3 hours to move all the files. Is there a way to do move in parallel? Hive Version: 1.2.1
