Hello, I have the following table definition (simplified to help in debugging):
create external table pvs ( time INT, server STRING, thread_id STRING ) partitioned by ( dt string ) row format delimited fields terminated by '\t' stored as textfile location 's3://dev-elastic/logz/'; I have another table raw_pvs that I want to import data from into pvs using the following statement: INSERT OVERWRITE TABLE pvs PARTITION (dt) SELECT s.time, s.server, s.thread_id, s.dt FROM ( FROM raw_pvs SELECT raw_pvs.time, raw_pvs.server, raw_pvs.thread_id, raw_pvs.dt where dt>'2011_01_00' and dt<'2011_01_02' limit 100 ) s; I keep getting the error Total MapReduce jobs = 1 Launching Job 1 out of 1 Number of reduce tasks determined at compile time: 1 In order to change the average load for a reducer (in bytes): set hive.exec.reducers.bytes.per.reducer=<number> In order to limit the maximum number of reducers: set hive.exec.reducers.max=<number> In order to set a constant number of reducers: set mapred.reduce.tasks=<number> Starting Job = job_201102111900_0003, Tracking URL = http://ip-10-204-190-203.ec2.internal:9100/jobdetails.jsp?jobid=job_201102111900_0003 Kill Command = /home/hadoop/.versions/0.20/bin/../bin/hadoop job -Dmapred.job.tracker=ip-10-204-190-203.ec2.internal:9001 -kill job_201102111900_0003 2011-02-12 01:11:07,649 Stage-1 map = 0%, reduce = 0% 2011-02-12 01:11:09,733 Stage-1 map = 20%, reduce = 0% 2011-02-12 01:11:12,785 Stage-1 map = 100%, reduce = 0% 2011-02-12 01:11:18,868 Stage-1 map = 100%, reduce = 100% Ended Job = job_201102111900_0003 Loading data to table pvs partition (dt=null) Failed with exception dt not found in table's partition spec: {dt=null} FAILED: Execution Error, return code 1 from org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.MoveTask When I run the sub query directly (FROM raw_pvs SELECT raw_pvs.time, raw_pvs.server, raw_pvs.thread_id, raw_pvs.dt where dt>'2011_01_00' and dt<'2011_01_02' limit 100) I get 100 rows with no null in them, so this doesn't seem like a data issue. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? I've been stuck on this for few days!! thank you Khaled
