Ning Zhang commented on HIVE-1002: ---------------------------------- 1) hive.merge.mapfiles/mapredfiles will be set to false internally if dynamic partitioning is enabled. I have modified some of the tests to remove the explicit setting of hive.merge.* to false. I'll file a followup JIRA to address merging. 2) drop tables are added to the positive tests. 3) load_dyn_part14.q was added to positive tests for HIVE_DEFAULT_PARTITION. I didn't figure out how to enter unicode in hive cli ('\u8888' seems not work. I'll file a following up JiRA for this and another negative test case where exception was thrown after job finished (TestNegativeCliDriver doesn't work for this case either). Will upload a new patch addressing the above comments. > 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-1002.2.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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
