Alexander Behm resolved IMPALA-5434.
------------------------------------
Resolution: Not A Bug
Works as intended.
> Incorrect count(*) if table definition is has partitions defined where there
> are none
> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: IMPALA-5434
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMPALA-5434
> Project: IMPALA
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Peter Ebert
>
> Select count(*) on a text table that has partitions defined in the create
> statement, but no actual partitions (e.g. file path is /db/table/file.txt,
> instead of /db/table/partition=1/file.txt) you will end up getting counts
> that do not match hive and are a multiple of the actual count.
> Will work on re-production, but it appears to be caused by two different
> values for the partition column defined, so we saw 2x the correct count.
> The error can be corrected by re-defining the table without partitions of
> course, but would prefer an error over an incorrect query result.
