Todd Lipcon commented on HIVE-718:
----------------------------------
What if the partition already exists? In that case we couldn't rename the
staging directory since the destination name would already exist, right? Or can
we just make another subdirectory of the partition with some unique name?
> Load data inpath into a new partition without overwrite does not move the file

> The bug can be reproduced as following. Note that it only happens for
> partitioned tables. The select after the first load returns nothing, while
> the second returns the data correctly.
> insert.txt in the current local directory contains 3 lines: "a", "b" and "c".
> {code}
> > create table tmp_insert_test (value string) stored as textfile;
> > load data local inpath 'insert.txt' into table tmp_insert_test;
> > select * from tmp_insert_test;
> a
> b
> c
> > create table tmp_insert_test_p ( value string) partitioned by (ds string)
> > stored as textfile;
> > load data local inpath 'insert.txt' into table tmp_insert_test_p partition
> > (ds = '2009-08-01');
> > select * from tmp_insert_test_p where ds= '2009-08-01';
