HI Yang,
We do this today camus to hive (without the Avro) just plain old tab
separated log line.
We use the hive -f command to add dynamic partition to hive table:
Bash Shell Scripts add time buckets into HIVE table before camus job runs:
for partition in "${@//\//,}"; do
echo "ALTER TABLE ${env:TABLE_NAME} ADD IF NOT EXISTS PARTITION
($partition);"
done | hive -f
e.g File produce by the camus job: /user/[hive.user]/output/
*partition_month_utc=2015-03/partition_day_utc=2015-03-11/partition_minute_bucket=2015-03-11-02-09/*
Above will add hive dynamic partition before camus job runs. It works, and
you can have any schema:
CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE IF NOT EXISTS ${env:TABLE_NAME} (
SOME Table FIELDS...
)
PARTITIONED BY (
partition_month_utc STRING,
partition_day_utc STRING,
partition_minute_bucket STRING
)
ROW FORMAT DELIMITED FIELDS TERMINATED BY '\t'
STORED AS SEQUENCEFILE
LOCATION '${env:TABLE_LOCATION_CAMUS_OUTPUT}'
;
I hope this will help ! You will have to construct hive query according
to partition define.
Thanks,
Bhavesh
