Mithun Radhakrishnan commented on HIVE-13756:
---------------------------------------------
IMHO, the qtest failures here are irrelevant. This is a fix in HCat.
> Map failure attempts to delete reducer _temporary directory on multi-query

>
> A pig script, executed with multi-query enabled, that reads the source data
> and writes it as-is into TABLE_A as well as performing a group-by operation
> on the data which is written into TABLE_B can produce erroneous results if
> any map fails. This results in a single MR job that writes the map output to
> a scratch directory relative to TABLE_A and the reducer output to a scratch
> directory relative to TABLE_B.
> If one or more maps fail it will delete the attempt data relative to TABLE_A,
> but it also deletes the _temporary directory relative to TABLE_B. This has
> the unintended side-effect of preventing subsequent maps from committing
> their data. This means that any maps which successfully completed before the
> first map failure will have its data committed as expected, other maps not,
> resulting in an incomplete result set.
