Dip Kharod created HIVE-6897: -------------------------------- Summary: Allow overwrite/append to external Hive table (with partitions) via HCatStorer Key: HIVE-6897 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-6897 Project: Hive Issue Type: Improvement Components: HCatalog, HiveServer2 Affects Versions: 0.12.0 Reporter: Dip Kharod
I'm using HCatStorer to write to external Hive table with partition from Pig and have the following different use cases: 1) Need to overwrite (aka, refresh) data into table: Currently I end up doing this outside (drop partition and delete HDFS folder) of Pig which is very painful and error-prone 2) Need to append (aka, add new file) data to the Hive external table/partition: Again, I end up doing this outside of Pig by copying file in appropriate folder It would be very productive for the developers to have both options in HCatStorer. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
