Sushanth Sowmyan commented on HCATALOG-500:
-------------------------------------------
This patch broke Dynamic Partitioning on External Tables. I'm creating a follow
up jira to fix that over at HIVE-5011. Please comment on that if you'd like to
provide any input.
> HCatStorer should honor user-specified path for external tables

> For the partitions created by HCatStorer, currently the output path format is
> fixed to
> "table_root/part_col_name1=part_col_val1/part_col_name2=part_col_val2". In
> our use case, we need HCatStorer to write to a different directory structure
> to be backward compatible. Therefore, we want HCatStorer be able to write to
> a external location if the user application specifies so.
