Wei Zheng commented on HIVE-14988:
----------------------------------
[~leftylev] Thanks for catching that. INSERT OVERWRITE is not a new feature, so
I don't think we need to highlight this. But we do need to remove one bullet
item under here:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/LanguageManual+DML#LanguageManualDML-Synopsis.1
{code}
"As of Hive 0.14, if a table has an OutputFormat that implements
AcidOutputFormat and the system is configured to use a transaction manager that
implements ACID, then INSERT OVERWRITE will be disabled for that table. This
is to avoid users unintentionally overwriting transaction history. The same
functionality can be achieved by using TRUNCATE TABLE (for non-partitioned
tables) or DROP PARTITION followed by INSERT INTO."
{code}
> Support INSERT OVERWRITE into a partition on transactional tables
