> Hello,
> the specific scenario when this can happen:
> - the execution engine is Tez;
> - speculative execution is on;
> - the query inserts into a table and the last step is a UNION sql clause;
> The problem is that Tez creates an extra layer of subdirectories when there
> is a UNION. Later, when deduplicating, Hive doesn't take that into account
> and only deduplicates folders but not the files inside.
> So for a query like this:
> {code:sql}
> insert overwrite table union_all
> select * from union_first_part
> union all
> select * from union_second_part;
> {code}
> The folder structure afterwards will be like this (a possible example):
> {code:java}
> .../union_all/HIVE_UNION_SUBDIR_1/000000_0
> .../union_all/HIVE_UNION_SUBDIR_1/000000_1
> .../union_all/HIVE_UNION_SUBDIR_2/000000_1
> {code}
> The attached patch increases the number of folder levels that Hive will check
> recursively for duplicates when we have a UNION in Tez.
> Feel free to reach out if you have any questions :).
