Ning Zhang commented on HIVE-936:
---------------------------------
Carl, yeah, I think we can close this ticket. Some of of the dependent tasks
(support CTAS) is not high-pri, and some may not have the need to pursue
(support alter table). So I'll close this one now.
> dynamic partitions creation based on values

> If a Hive table is created as partitioned, DML could only inserted into one
> partitioin per query. Ideally partitions should be created on the fly based
> on the value of the partition columns. As an example:
> {{{
> create table T (a int, b string) partitioned by (ds string);
> insert overwrite table T select a, b, ds from S where ds >= '2009-11-01'
> and ds <= '2009-11-16';
> }}}
> should be able to execute in one DML rather than possibley 16 DML for each
> distinct ds values. CTAS and alter table should be able to do the same thing:
> {{{
> create table T partitioned by (ds string) as select * from S where ds >=
> '2009-11-01' and ds <= '2009-11-16';
> }}}
> and
> {{{
> create table T(a int, b string, ds string);
> insert overwrite table T select * from S where ds >= '2009-11-1' and ds <=
> '2009-11-16';
> alter table T partitioned by (ds);
> }}}
> should all return the same results.
