-------------------------------
Summary: Allow overwrite/append to external Hive table (with
partitions) via HCatStorer
Key: PIG-3883
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-3883
Project: Pig
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: impl, internal-udfs
Affects Versions: 0.12.0
Environment: Production
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
I would be very productive for the developers to have both options in
HCatStorer.
