Daniel Dai commented on PIG-3883:
---------------------------------
[~dip.kharod], since HCatStorer codebase is in Hive (HCatalog is a subproject
of Hive), you should open a Hive Jira instead of Pig.
> 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
> It would be very productive for the developers to have both options in
> HCatStorer.
