Szehon Ho updated HIVE-7441: ---------------------------- Resolution: Fixed Status: Resolved (was: Patch Available) Committed to trunk. Thanks Chaoyu for the contribution! > Custom partition scheme gets rewritten with hive scheme upon concatenate > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HIVE-7441 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-7441 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Components: CLI > Affects Versions: 0.10.0, 0.11.0, 0.12.0 > Environment: CDH4.5 and CDH5.0 > Reporter: Johndee Burks > Assignee: Chaoyu Tang > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 0.14.0 > > Attachments: HIVE-7441.1.patch, HIVE-7441.patch > > > If I take a given data directories. The directories contain a data file that > is rc format and only contains one character "1". > {code} > /j1/part1 > /j1/part2 > {code} > Create the table over the directories using the following command: > {code} > create table j1 (a int) partitioned by (b string) stored as rcfile location > '/j1' ; > {code} > I add these directories to a table for example j1 using the following > commands: > {code} > alter table j1 add partition (b = 'part1') location '/j1/part1'; > alter table j1 add partition (b = 'part2') location '/j1/part2'; > {code} > I then do the following command to the first partition: > {code} > alter table j1 partition (b = 'part1') concatenate; > {code} > Hive changes the partition location from on hdfs > {code} > /j1/part1 > {code} > to > {code} > /j1/b=part1 > {code} > However it does not update the partition location in the metastore and > partition is then lost to the table. It is hard to find this out until you > start querying your data and notice there is missing data. The table even > still shows the partition when you do "show partitions". -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
