Insert overwrite table db.tname fails if partition already exists
------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HIVE-2617
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-2617
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Metastore
Reporter: Aniket Mokashi
Insert Overwrite table db.tname fails if partition already exists.
For example-
insert overwrite table db.tname PARTITION(part='p') select .. from t2 where
part='p'; fails if partition 'p' already exists. Workaround is - use db; and
the fire the command.
>From the source code-
alterPartition(tbl.getTableName(), new Partition(tbl, tpart)); takes String
tablename as argument and loses db information. Table table =
newTable(tablename) is called to retrieve table from name. But, it relies on
currentDatabase value (hence the workaround).
