I think that this feature should not depend on session variable. Session
variable works implicitly. Users can miss to check if the session variable is
enabled.
As a result, inadvertently, a user can lost his or her entire table by
```INSERT OVERWRITE``` clause.
I think that we should force users to manually use ```TRUNCATE``` statement
instead of using session variable.
