Joydeep Sen Sarma commented on HIVE-489: ---------------------------------------- i don't see any code for the insert overwrite case: - genFileSinkPlan generates a loadFileDesc - MoveTask does not mkdir on parent for loadFileDesc the changes in 488 only seem to cover loads into tables and partitions if i am not mistaken ? > compiler should check for validity of output paths before job submission > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HIVE-489 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-489 > Project: Hadoop Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Query Processor > Reporter: Joydeep Sen Sarma > > couple of hours after a job has run - finding that the move operation failed > (because the output directory did not exist and move doesn't make parent > directories automatically). No Trash - output is gone. Hive should have > barfed on this in the compile phase. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
