Ning Zhang commented on HIVE-1002:
----------------------------------
Ted, thanks for taking the time for review. The original code should be correct
since it won't increment j for every struct field, but only incremented once i
reached startCol. So j is actually the counter of columns not the column index.
> multi-partition inserts

> Key: HIVE-1002
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1002
> Project: Hadoop Hive
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Zheng Shao
> Assignee: Ning Zhang
> Fix For: 0.6.0
>
> Attachments: HIVE-1002.1.patch, HIVE-1002.patch

>
> We should allow queries like this into a partitioned table:
> {code}
> CREATE TABLE (a STRING, b STRING, c STRING)
> PARTITIONED BY (ds STRING, ts STRING);
> INSERT OVERWRITE TABLE x PARTITION (ds = '2009-12-12')
> SELECT a, b, c, ts FROM xxx;
> {code}
> Basically, allowing users to overwrite multiple partitions at a time.
> The partition values specified in PARTITION part (if any) should be a prefix
> of the partition keys.
> The rest of the partition keys goes to the end of the SELECT expression list.
