>
> Insert overwrite table should clear existing data before creating the new
> data files.
> For a partitioned table we will clean any folder of existing partitions on
> HDFS, however if the partition folder exists only on HDFS and the partition
> definition is missing in HMS, the folder is not cleared.
> Reproduction steps:
> 1. CREATE TABLE test( col1 string) PARTITIONED BY (ds string);
> 2. INSERT INTO test PARTITION(ds='p1') values ('a');
> 3. Copy the data to a different folder with different name.
> 4. ALTER TABLE test DROP PARTITION (ds='p1');
> 5. Recreate the partition directory, copy and rename the data file back
> 6. INSERT OVERWRITE TABLE test PARTITION(ds='p1') values ('b');
> 7. SELECT * from test;
> will result in 2 records being returned instead of 1.
