Hi Bhavesh
       INSERT INTO is supported in hive 0.8 . An upgrade would get you things 
rolling. 
LOAD DATA inefficient? What was the performance overhead you were facing here?

Subject: Doubt in INSERT query in Hive?

Hello,
Whenever we want to insert into table we use:
INSERT OVERWRITE TABLE TBL_NAME
(SELECT ....)
Due to this, table gets overwrites everytime.

I don't want to overwrite table, I want append it everytime.
I thought about LOAD TABLE , but writing the file may take more time and I
don't think so that it will efficient.

Does Hive Support INSERT INTO TABLE TAB_NAME?
(I am using hive-0.7.1)
Is there any patch for it? (But I don't know How to apply patch ?)

Pls suggest me as soon as possible.
Thanks.
