Eugene Koifman created HIVE-17214: ------------------------------------- Summary: check/fix conversion of non-acid to acid Key: HIVE-17214 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-17214 Project: Hive Issue Type: Sub-task Components: Transactions Reporter: Eugene Koifman Assignee: Eugene Koifman
bucketed tables have stricter rules for file layout on disk - bucket files are direct children of a partition directory. for un-bucketed tables I'm not sure there are any rules for example, CTAS with Tez + Union operator creates 1 directory for each leg of the union Supposedly Hive can read table by picking all files recursively. Can it also write (other than CTAS example above) arbitrarily? Does it mean Acid write can also write anywhere? Figure out what can be supported and how can existing layout can be checked? Examining a full "ls -l -R" for a large table could be expensive. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
