There is no support for INSERT APPEND TABLE right now.

The workaround is to select the same table and a union all


For eg:

If you want to insert append into table T


Insert append table T select xxx

Is same as:


Insert overwrite table T
Select xxx
Union all
Select * from T

Hey all,
   Is there any news on having an 'INSERT APPEND TABLE' rather than forcing use 
of OVERWRITE?  Is there another alternative at present other than INSERT to a 
temp table and doing a 'copy' of the results files to the correct directory of 
the table to be appended to?

Thanks - Neal
