I have a table that I would like to define to be bucketed, but I also need to write to new partitions using HCatOutputFormat (or similar) from an MR job. I’m getting an unsupported operation error when I try to do that. Is there some way to make this work? I suppose I could write to a temporary table, then use a Hive query to insert into the target table, but I’d like to avoid the extra overhead.
Thanks in advance Brian
