Edward Capriolo commented on HIVE-31:
-------------------------------------
I don't know if anyone can solve this. I will try to replicate the situation it
came up on.
{noformat}
create table tableA( url string , time string, cookies string) partitioned by
(year string,month string)
{noformat}
{noformat}
create table tableb( url string , time string, cookies string) partitioned by
(year string,month string)
row format compressed
{noformat}
INSERT INTO tableb (url,time,string)partition x,y
from select * from tablea where year=x,month=y
See? I needed to list every column because the select * from tableA turns a
partition into a column. In my case both tables are partitioned in the same
way. I am not sure if this Jira can deal with this directly but I found this
fact annoying.
