Something else I've noticed is when loading LOTS of historical data, if
you can try to say load a month of data at a time, try to just load THAT
month of data and only that month. I've been able to load several years
of data (depending on the data) at a single load however there have been
times when loading a large dataset that I would run into memory issues
during the reduce phase (usually during shuffle/sort). Things from out
of memory to stack overflow messages (I've compiled a list of the more
fun ones).
Then I noticed that only loading data from say a single month loaded
quickly and without the memory headaches during the reduce.
Something to keep in mind and it works great!

Hi Daniel
Just having a look at your requirement , to load data into a partition
based hive table from any input file the most hassle free approach
would be.
1. Load the data into a non partitioned table that shares similar
structure as the target table.
2. Populate the target table with the data from non partitioned one
using hive dynamic partition
approach.
With Dynamic partitions you don't need to manually identify the data
partitions and distribute data accordingly.
A similar implementation is described in the blog post

Hope it helps

Hey ,
Simpley you have run query like this
FROM sales_temp INSERT OVERWRITE TABLE sales partition(period_key)
SELECT *

suppose the table is partitioned by period_key, and the csv file
also has a column named as period_key. The csv file contains
multiple days of data, how can we load it in the the table?
I think of an workaround by first load the data into a
non-partition table, and then insert the data from non-partition
table to the partition table.
hive> INSERT OVERWRITE TABLE sales SELECT * FROM sales_temp;
FAILED: Error in semantic analysis: need to specify partition
columns because the destination table is partitioned.
However it doesn't work also. please help.
