INSERT OVERWRITE will overwrite any existing data in the table or partition
* unless IF NOT EXISTS is provided for a partition (as of Hive 0.9.0<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-2612>). Thanks.

Inside the job, I am writing into the table two-time but I am only seeing the partition with last write although I can see in the Spark UI it is processing data fro both the partition. Below is the query I am using to write to the table. hive_c.sql("""INSERT OVERWRITE TABLE base_table PARTITION (date='{1}', date_2) SELECT * from temp_table """.format(date_val) ) Thanks, Bijay
