Eugene Koifman updated HIVE-17361:
----------------------------------
Description:
LOAD DATA was not supported since ACID was introduced. Need to fill this gap
between ACID table and regular hive table.
Current Documentation is under [DML
Operations|https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/GettingStarted#GettingStarted-DMLOperations]
and [Loading files into
tables|https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/LanguageManual+DML#LanguageManualDML-Loadingfilesintotables]:
\\
* Load Data performs very limited validations of the data, in particular it
uses the input file name which may not be in 00000_0 which can break some read
logic. (Certainly will for Acid).
* It does not check the schema of the file. This may be a non issue for Acid
which requires ORC which is self describing so Schema Evolution may handle this
seamlessly. (Assuming Schema is not too different).
* It does check that _InputFormat_S are compatible.
* Bucketed (and thus sorted) tables don't support Load Data (but only if
hive.strict.checks.bucketing=true (default)). Will keep this restriction for
Acid.
* Load Data supports OVERWRITE clause
