> 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
> * What happens to file permissions/ownership: rename vs copy differences
> \\
> The implementation will follow the same idea as in HIVE-14988 and use a
> base_N/ dir for OVERWRITE clause.
> \\
> How is minor compaction going to handle delta/base with original files?
> Since delta_8_8/_meta_data is created before files are moved, delta_8_8
> becomes visible before it's populated. Is that an issue?
