Thanks Elliot, For the immediate reply.
But as per hive locking mechanism, While inserting data to a partition hive acquires exclusive lock on that partition and shared lock on the entire table. How is it possible to insert data into a different partition of the same table while having shared lock on the table which does not allow write operation. Please correct me if my understanding about the same is wrong. (I am using hql inserts only for these operations) Thanks, Suyog On Aug 21, 2015 7:28 PM, "Elliot West" <tea...@gmail.com> wrote: > I presume you mean "into different partitions of a table at the same > time"?
