Hi Namit, Yes, we have customers who are using LOAD INTO without OVERWRITE. The use case is for collecting session data into a table partitioned by the hour of session start time. Since sessions are of varying lengths, incremental loads are necessary as sessions finish up.
There are a couple of possible workarounds, but all of them have drawbacks. -Todd On Thu, Sep 10, 2009 at 6:58 PM, Namit Jain <nj...@facebook.com> wrote: > I am not sure 718 is a valid requirement.
