Prasad,
We believe the problem is that one of the query is doing an ‘insert
overwrite ... select from’ which actually is deleting and merging the small
files. The other query somehow couldn’t find those files that it thought it
has seen before and failed. So, it looks like a concurrency issue.

Yongqiang,
Could you elaborate a bit on why you say this is not a bug?

Thanks,
Eva.
