    Let me show an example, 
    ```SQL
    INSERT OVERWRITE TABLE $table
    partition (p1='a',p2)
    SELECT 'blarr3' as p2, 'blarr1'
    ```
    
    Without this change, the output is like
    ```
    +------+---+------+
    |    c1| p1|    p2|
    +------+---+------+
    |blarr3|  a|blarr1|
    +------+---+------+
    ```
    After this change, the output becomes
    ```
    +------+---+------+
    |    c1| p1|    p2|
    +------+---+------+
    |blarr1|  a|blarr3|
    +------+---+------+
    ```
    Based on the [Hive 
specification](https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/DynamicPartitions),
 
    
    >>In INSERT ... SELECT ... queries, the dynamic partition columns must be 
specified last among the columns in the SELECT statement and in the same order 
in which they appear in the PARTITION() clause.
    
    Now, the new behavior does not follow the Hive spec. I think we should not 
do this.
