Daniel Dai commented on PIG-5079:
---------------------------------
[~sushanth], from HIVE-6897 (unsolved), it seems overwrite is not supported by
HCatalog. Setting "immutable"="true" only disallow append, is that right?
> HCatalog - overwrite

> Key: PIG-5079
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-5079
> Project: Pig
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: build, data
> Affects Versions: 0.15.0
> Reporter: Praveen PentaReddy
> Priority: Minor
>
> In HCatalog, i am using hive table and doing transformation and after
> completing the transformation i want to overwrite the data back to the same
> hive table.however, while writing back the data to the same table, the
> transformed data is getting appended rather not getting overwrite.
> It would be good if we have option like overwrite so that if need we can use
> overwrite or append as we have this kind of feature in hive while importing
> the data into a hive table.
