Sahil Takiar commented on HIVE-15199:
-------------------------------------
[~spena] this is actually much worse that I thought. Any {{INSERT INTO}} query
that needs to insert multiple files into the target table location will lose
data, each rename operation will basically overwrite the same file again and
again.
Note this seems to be a regression of HIVE-12988, which first checked if the
destination file existed before renaming it.
> INSERT INTO data on S3 is replacing the old rows with the new ones
