Hive does not support appending to exist partition ot table yet. For non bucketed table a workaround is to insert the new data into a temp table and move the files to the destination by hand.
Of course you are welcome to add this to the project.

I read the hive wiki, it says: The output of each of the select statements is written to the chosen table (or partition). Currently the OVERWRITE keyword is mandatory and implies that the contents of the chosen table or partition are replaced with the output of corresponding select statement can hive currently support appending data to the table?
