-------------------------------------
Summary: Remove LOAD DATA Command
Key: HIVE-24847
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-24847
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: David Mollitor
Please remove this confusing feature.
As I understand it, this as an artifact of a previous era in Hive and that the
best way to do this now is to create an {{EXTERNAL}} table then {{INSERT INTO
.. SELECT * FROM ...}} the table into a managed table. The benefit of this is
that table stats are collected during the {{INSERT}} statement and stats are
not calculated as part of {{LOAD DATA}}.
