--------------------------------------

             Summary: Insert Overwrite of a full ACID table when the select 
returns no data is not creating an empty base dir.
                 Key: HIVE-21448
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-21448
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Transactions
            Reporter: Abhishek Somani


{code:java}
insert overwrite table dest_acid select * from src;
{code}
If src has no data, we should still create an empty base directory in dest_acid 
so that readers get no data to read. This is not happening right now as we do 
not create such an empty base dir.

Is my understanding correct [~ekoifman] [~gopalv] [~vgumashta] ?
