-------------------------------------

             Summary: MoveTask : Use attemptId instead of file size for 
deduplication of files compareTempOrDuplicateFiles()
                 Key: HIVE-21214
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-21214
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Deepak Jaiswal
            Assignee: Deepak Jaiswal


For a given task, if there is more than one attempt then deduplication logic 
kicks in.
{noformat}
Utilities.compareTempOrDuplicateFiles(){noformat}
The logic uses file size and picks the one with largest size. This logic is 
very fragile.

ideally, it should pick the successful attempt's file.

However, a simpler solution is to pick the newest attempt and also checking the 
file size for the newest attempt is the largest.

If not, throw an exception.
